Abstract

This article explores the potential of digital exhibitions to enhance Holocaust memory for generations that soon will not have direct contact with survivors, positioning such exhibitions as an innovative educational tool. Focusing on the Nazi gas chambers—a negative symbol of Holocaust memory—as its case study. The article utilizes the “Visual History of the Holocaust: Rethinking Curation in the Digital Age” research project’s Media Management and Search Infrastructure (VHH-MMSI) to link artworks with their broader historical and socio-cultural contexts. By using modern digital technology to connect present day audiences with past atrocities and their artistic representations, the article highlights the mnemonic role of art and digital curation in teaching Holocaust studies in the digital age.
