The University of Sussex was the first HE institution in England to host commemorations for Holocaust Memory Day, despite the challenges the pandemic brings us, this tradition will continue in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the 2021 programme will be an online discussion on Friday 5th February 1.30pm-3.30pm (UTC) <\/strong>‘The Future of Holocaust Memory’ <\/strong>chaired by digital Holocaust memory curator and member of the Sussex Weidenfeld Institute for Jewish Studies<\/a>, Dr Victoria Grace Walden<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year ago, we were commemorating the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz at in-person events across the globe. A few months later, just as many museums and memorial sites were preparing for physical gatherings designed to mark further special anniversaries of the end of World War II and the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps, the Covid-19 pandemic forced them to close their doors to the public. Whilst many of us hoped we would only face restrictions for a few months, we find ourselves in 2021 planning to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day online-only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holocaust museums and memorial sites have had to rethink what they do and how they communicate to their visitors overnight. In this panel discussion we welcome guests from Holocaust museums, a concentration camp memorial, and an academic specialising in digital Holocaust memory to discuss how Holocaust organisations have managed the shift to online-only provision; what they have learnt from this transition and what they think lies ahead for Holocaust memory in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
