As the post-survivor era approaches, a new museum in Toronto has preserved the voices of those who endured the Holocaust, ensuring their knowledge will be passed on for years to come.
The number of living Holocaust survivors is dwindling. The population of 40,000 immigrants that came to Canada following the war has reduced to a fraction of that today – the Azreili Foundation says there are at least 10,000 left in the country.Those stories can be heard, told by the survivors themselves, in the more than 220 minutes of testimony, across 11 stations in the new facility. In all, the first-hand knowledge of over 70 survivors comprise the oral history.
Through the ‘storyliner’ exhibit, visitors will be able to follow a survivor's story throughout the experience on the tablet. When held up, augmented reality is used to create a layered experience “that deepens and customizes content through an overlay of first-person accounts, artifacts, photos, and documents.”“The museum also connects the dots to the present and gives visitors the opportunity to reflect on why they're learning this history,” Solomon said.
Museum staff say the exhibitions are meant to combat present-day hate and inform visitors about trends in anti-semitism.Disinformation also poses a threat to future generations. A study conducted in 2022 showed thatand that 40 per cent of students reported learning about the Holocaust through social media.
