Join the Neuberger this International Holocaust Remembrance Day as we explore the intersection of Holocaust memory and digital culture in museums, academia, and video games with experts and industry professionals. We will be joined by David Klevan of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to discuss History Unfolded: Newspapers of the Holocaust, by Marnie Salsky to discuss the Stolpersteine project, and by video game developer Luc Bernard who will be debuting the first gameplay footage of his project The Light in the Darkness.
The Neuberger’s Managing Director Dr. Carson Phillips will moderate a discussion as we will explore how museums are preparing to reach the next generation of learners with digital narrative technologies.
The program will include introductory remarks from Consul General of Germany in Toronto Thomas Schultze and Neuberger Executive Director Dara Solomon will conclude with a look at the new Toronto Holocaust Museum.
Luc Bernard is the Co-Founder & Executive Director for Voices of the Forgotten. In over a decade of designing and producing video games Luc has sold tens of millions of copies of his innovative games. Since 2008 Luc has been working on a video game that would teach new audiences about the Holocaust. Luc is inspired by the story of his maternal grandmother, who looked after orphaned Jewish children after World War II, and seeks to bring Holocaust education to new audiences.
