Over a period of 18 months my colleagues and I at D8.Studio worked with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to create a series of animated stories titled ‘Behind Every Name’.

Each video tells a story based on authentic letters and diaries that document firsthand accounts of the Holocaust. An athlete's defiance in the face of Nazi oppression. A soldier’s courage through captivity. A friendship across continents. The rescue of 50 children. A professor’s plea for help.

We developed each story from script to finished animation. I illustrated all scenes with the finished animations brought to life by David Beattie, with some rotoscoping assistance by Danny McCormick. Created at D8.studio.
