Holocaust Eva's Diary; Picture Perfect Of Princess Charlotte; Royal Wedding In Thailand.
CHURCH: Israel is commemorating holocaust Remembrance Day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended this replaying ceremony just a short time ago. At Jerusalem's Yad Vashem holocaust memorial moral. And other events are taking place across the country to honor the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis. Well now to a controversy over an Instagram story about the holocaust, the father-daughter team created the project say, it's an effort to make young people understand the horror and never forget, but some say it's trivializing a tragedy. Here's Oren Liebermann.</s>OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN CORESPONDENT: More than 70 years after the holocaust, there are a dwindling few survivors to pass on their memories. Their stories commemorated and documentaries and museums amidst a fear their lessons are fading.</s>EVA HEYMAN, HUNGARIAN JEW DURING THE HOLOCAUST: Hi, my name is Eva. That is me!</s>LIEBERMANN: Eva Heyman is the new face of those lessons. The 13- year-old Hungarian Jew kept a diary in the last months before she was deported to Auschwitz in May 1944, where she would die.</s>HEYMAN: We are surrounded by war, but I'm always seeing the sun.</s>LIEBERMANN: Her story was all, but forgotten, until Instagram brought it back to life.</s>MATI KOCHAVI, EVA'S STORY CREATOR: We were looking for a way to deal with this memory, imagine this memory in a way that is going to be relevant for younger generation today.</s>LIEBERMANN: Eva's diary was reimagine on social media. On March 31st, 1944 she wrote, today an order was issued that from now on, Jews have to wear a yellow star shaped patch. The order tells exactly how big the star patch must be, and that it must be sewn on every outer garment, jacket or coat. When grandma heard this, she started acting up again and we called the doctor. The idea to bring the diary to life on Instagram was the brain child of Mati and Maya Kochavi, who wanted the holocaust to reach a younger generation.</s>KOCHAVI: The diary and the journal is very short. It starts on February 12th, when it's her birthday. On March, the Germans invade into Hungary. In May 30th, she is already on the train to Auschwitz, so it's a journal of 108 days. That's all.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't think we will see --</s>LIEBERMANN: Eva's story was released on the eve of holocaust memorial day in Israel. By that time, it had hundreds of thousands of followers. Not everyone has been thrilled with the Instagram story, advertise in billboards like this here, behind you, all around Tel Aviv. Critics have said it dumbs down the holocaust and is a P.R. campaign in bad taste. Others have said it's a very short distance from a social media campaign like this to selfies at Auschwitz. That was never the intent behind Eva Heyman's story, of course.</s>MAYA KOCHAVI, EVA'S STORY CREATOR: Social media, especially Instagram is shallow if you are looking for content that is shallow. And if you're looking for content that is powerful and has magnitude and can cause revolutions, even, you will very easily find it there.</s>LIEBERMANN: In her final diary entry written three days before she was deported from Hungary, she wrote, dear diary, I don't want to die. I want to live, even if it means that I will be the only person here allowed to stay. I would wait for the end of the war in some cellar, just as long as they didn't kill me. Only that they should let me live. This was a way of humanizing the holocaust for a modern audience, making it more relevant to millennials. It's the same message of never again, its creators insist. Just reimagine for a new generation to learn. Oren Liebermann, CNN, Jerusalem.</s>CHURCH: Tough story to tell, but it has to be told. So, let's turn now to the United Kingdom. On a lighter note, Princess Charlotte is turning four years old. Take a look at these new photos of the princess. Her mom the Duchess of Cambridge snapped the pictures recently. Charlotte is shown playing and posing at home in England. Very cute indeed. And Thailand's king has a new queen. The 66-year-old monarch married his royal consort in Bangkok on Wednesday. She is 40 years old and the Deputy Commander of the King's royal guard command. King Ram X assumed the throne after his father's death in 2016, but his official coronation is set for Saturday.
