The Digital Holocaust Memory Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More than a decade ago, James E. Young acknowledged a shift that was beginning: from the Holocaust as ‘living memory’ to ‘mediated memory’. It is fair to say that as we face a sad, but impending future without survivors to share their stories that this mediated memory will be predominately a ‘digital Holocaust memory’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restrictions imposed on institutions due to the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic forced online major commemorations marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps, and the end of World War II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, as Holocaust museums and archives discover and experiment with emerging technologies, the digital memoryscape expands, enfolding amateur produsers<\/em>, digital creators, and an increasing force of counter-memory in the forms of neo-Nazism, and Holocaust denial and distortion online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is this context that this project wishes to explore. The Digital Holocaust Memory <\/strong>project includes three threads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Mapping the digital Holocaust memoryscape<\/strong>, from institutional to amateur projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Exploring the ‘newness’ <\/strong>of digital Holocaust memory<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Establishing a network <\/strong>of heritage and archive professionals, academics, amateur and professional media producers, and digital audiences\/users to explore potential digital futures for Holocaust memory<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
