British singer Boy George arrived today (Tuesday) at the Nova complex and participated in a press conference with survivors of the massacre and founders of the Nova community. During the visit, he addressed the October 7 events and the phenomenon of denial worldwide. "I saw on TV what happened on October 7 and it scared me," he said. "What scared me more was seeing people disconnected from what happened, denying it and saying it's not true and it was invented." Released hostage Omer Shem Tov, who returned from captivity in Gaza after 505 days, said this is only the second time he has come to the complex since returning home. "I entered Gaza for 505 days, and during that time my freedom was taken from me. Today, a little over three years later, I stand here again, this time as a free man," he said. Ofir Amir, one of the founders of the Nova festival, described the moments of the massacre when he was shot in both legs and hid for hours. He noted that more than 700,000 people in 11 cities around the world have already visited the Nova 06:29 exhibit. The article emphasizes the use of music as a tool for commemoration and advocacy.
