Operation Legendary
New perspectives on German-Jewish history. The students of the Jacobson School in Seesen am Harz concoct a prank that will make the school famous all over the world: Operation Legendary. Their adventure takes them across the school, over the roof of the synagogue, and into the lion's den, the principal's house!
With the help of the XR app Operation Legendary in the style of an
interactive graphic novel, an important, little-known aspect of
German-Jewish history is rediscovered. In the small town of Seesen
on the edge of the Harz Mountains, a place of origin of modern
Judaism, the reformer and rabbi Israel Jacobson founded an
important Reform school for Jewish and Christian students and the
first Reform synagogue in the world. Yet the significance of this
"Jewish renaissance of world-historical proportions" (Heinrich
Graetz, Jewish historian) has been little known. A project by the
Israel Jacobson Network aims to change that. Through the use of
extended reality, this history can be experienced in a new form
via app on the smartphone or tablet in a playful way - not only
for children and young people!
