Future memory: a digital humanities approach for the preservation and presentation of the history of the Holocaust and Nazi crimes

Describes the concepts, methodology, technology and practice of a user-centric and historical space-oriented approach to Historical and Cultural Learning. The Future Memory project pursues the unifying hypothesis that physical space can play a critical role in authentication and education of this singular historical event, or space as a frame for memory formation and a source of authentication. We illustrate these aspects in the context of Future Memory projects realized over the last ten years in collaboration with several memorial sites, museums, and archives. Based on these experiences, we subsequently analyse the lessons learned and future challenges.
