Claims Conference / USC Shoah Foundation: Inside KristallnachtTop 6: November 20th 2024
As the number of Holocaust survivors continues to decline, a pioneering mixed reality experience is aiming to immortalise their memories and educate future generations about the injustice, persecution and violence they lived through - by recreating a watershed moment in the Holocaust’s history. Co-produced by immersive technology studio makemepulse and USC Shoah Foundation, Inside Kristallnacht uses cutting-edge technology to transport users into the infamous November Pogrom of 1938 - aka ‘The Night of Broken Glass’.
A first-of-its-kind web XR experience that enables VR and interactive web viewing, Inside Kristallnacht launches 86 years after 10,000 Jewish businesses were destroyed, 2,000 synagogues burned down, tens of thousands of homes were wrecked and more than 30,000 Jewish men rounded up and sent to concentration camps across Germany and Austria - a harrowing 24 hours which marked the beginning of the systematic persecution of Jewish communities by the Nazi regime. Commissioned by The Claims Conference - a nonprofit organisation securing compensation and social welfare services for Holocaust survivors around the world - and supported by Meta and UNESCO, the immersive experience authentically brings the events of November 9-10 1938 to life from the personal perspective of Dr Charlotte Knobloch, a prominent advocate of the Jewish communities in Germany. The full experience is around 25 minutes on mobile or desktop.
