The Holocaust was the defining cataclysm of modernity. Now, more
than three quarters of a century later, the immersive, interactive
technologies of the digital age are dramatically refashioning our
memory of that genocide. Virtual Holocaust Memory offers the first
comprehensive account of a unique historical juncture, as
twenty-first century digital culture meets the edge of living
Holocaust memory. The book considers a range of projects that are
being developed by museums, archives, businesses, and educational
organizations in the USA and Europe, including interactive video
testimony, Virtual Reality films, Augmented Reality apps, museum
installations, and online exhibitions. Drawing on an original
conceptual framework that incorporates connective memory,
palimpsestic testimony, and a notion of 'truthfulness' first
applied to testimonial writing by the survivor Charlotte Delbo,
this groundbreaking book argues that the value of virtual Holocaust
memory-that is to say its truthfulness-will ultimately come to rest
on the connections that it establishes across a complex set of
subject positions. These range from 'new bystanders', who encounter
Holocaust memory from a position of relative safety, to the
traumatized victims whose extreme physical and psychological
experiences made communicating so difficult in the first place.
