Memory Drive: The ethics of Holocaust memory in the age of virtual reality

In this episode of ”Technically Human,” I sit down with Dr. Steven Smith, the director USC‘s Dimensions in Holocaust Testimony.   We talk about the ethics of memory, testimony, and witness, and how these fundamental concepts are being radically changed by developing technologies. Steven explains the ethics of Holocaust witness in the digital age and how a new interactive program that enlists virtual technologies may allow Holocaust testimony to remain vivified for generations to come. How should we think about the reality of virtual survivors? How is our basic concept of ”witness”  transformed by new technologies? And what does  ”memory” mean in our current digital age?
