My apologies that this Sydney news has not been passed on before. In a city that needs to remind our politicians that the voting age in Australia is 18 by which time we have become responsible for our political views and political actions, the Sydney Jewish Museum presents a new interactive, high-tech exhibition which shines a light on the humanity and life experiences of 43 of the Holocaust survivors who have shared their stories in recent years.
Reverberations takes you on a journey through a high-definition gallery of recorded footage, where you’ll encounter Holocaust survivors’ thought-provoking answers to questions like:
Why do survivors choose to share their experiences?
Is it difficult to talk about what happened to them?
Can they forgive? Was there justice?
What is their responsibility to those who were murdered?
You can also immerse yourself in conversation with the interactive biographies of three Holocaust survivors: Olga Horak, Yvonne Engelman, and the late Eddie Jaku, which use cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to respond directly to any question you ask them.
This will give you a glimpse into how people of the future will continue to engage with Holocaust survivor testimony, for when the time comes that there are sadly no more survivors left to tell their own stories.
