  Preface On October 7, 2023, the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas committed the worst pogrom since the Shoah against civilians in Israel, shaking not only the country but the entire world. More than 1,200 people were murdered, many were injured and raped. Over 240 were abducted as hostages, of whom 140 have since been freed. Only 20 of the remaining hostages are reported to be alive. October 7 means a deep cut for Jews worldwide. The violence of Hamas against civilians in Israel surpasses all previous experiences with terrorist activity. After October 7, in Israel, state structures initially failed, society fractured—and at the same time found itself anew. The people in Israel stood up, organized aid, protected one another, mourned together. From emptiness arose a strength that, as Magalí Druscovich states, recalls the ancient Jewish principle of Arevut: mutual responsibility. Home Front is a documentary and at the same time profoundly personal journey through this other front — the front not made of weapons but of courage, pain, solidarity, and love. It is the story of mothers who lost their children and found themselves in their grief. Of youths who rose beyond themselves. Of civilians who saved, cared for, and protected — while the world around them collapsed. Yet October 7 was not only an Israeli trauma. It sent global ripples — in media, politics, and society. A wave of antisemitism, unlike anything many had experienced for decades, spread worldwide: attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools, Jewish people — verbal, political, and physical. Victims were mocked, perpetrators relativized, solidarity often absent. In quiet, sensitive momentary images, Magalí Druscovich manages to capture the complex human reactions to a collective trauma — and to reveal the strength of solidarity. And at the same time, it is a testament to hope. The portraits tell not only of pain but of resilience, community, and humanity — beyond headlines and politics. May Home Front be a place of reflection and empathy. And remind us of what must never happen again. Daniela F. Eisenstein
