Description

Forty Heroes, Forty Stories
Shaylee put her little finger in her newborn baby's mouth to keep her quiet.
Shlomo sat on the couch and pretended to be asleep. Nasreen removed the laces
from her children's shoes. Mickey demanded that the terrorist keep his promise.
Amit comforted the last patient in the clinic. Aner threw seven live grenades
out of the public shelter. Emanuel made sure that a fallen soldier's love letter
would reach its destination.
And it all happened on a single day, one day in October.
October 7th, 2023, was the most tragic day in Israeli history. Hamas terror-
ist forces attacked and ravaged the Gaza border area, killing 1200 and taking
250 hostage. Hamas murdered and brutalized young and old, Jew and non-Jew,
civilian and soldier. And in response, from every strand of Israeli society, heroes
stepped forward to save lives and defend their humanity.
One Day in October introduces us to forty real-life Israeli heroes from that
day, in their own words.
All forty stories take place within the same twenty-
four-hour period, in the same patch of beautiful, broken, blood-soaked land.
These heroes are unforgettable, their stories inconceivable.
Emerging from the pain and sorrow inflicted on that day, these first-person
accounts offer consolation and hope.
Yair Agmon is an acclaimed Israeli author, film director, and columnist. He was
