An LA social media star started publishing videos celebrating Jewish heritage in November. She recently spoke about her mission in Manhattan Beach.
She realized she had to use her influential platform to not just entertain people through song and dance, but also to educate folks on the Holocaust and Jewish culture.Tucker created “How to: Never Forget — a Holocaust remembrance film,” a 10-part series of short videos documenting her time spent in Poland last year visiting Nazi-invaded sites, from which some of her Jewish ancestors never made it out.
Tucker and her team started publishing videos from the remembrance series on TikTok and other social media sites in November, coincidentally around the time rapper Kanye West publicly expressed anti-Semitic comments. Audience members dabbed away their tears as they watched a scene from the series where Tucker visited the Belzec extermination camp, standing above a gravesite of 500,000 bodies and viewing photos of Jews being tortured at the hands of smiling Nazi soldiers.
Tucker said a new pride was instilled in the Jewish people who had watched her film. She got daily messages from folks saying they were afraid to be Jewish, or wear their star of David necklaces at school — now they’re proud to wear it.
