'Never during those dark days of the Holocaust did I ever imagine that one day I would see myself, and my story, immortalised in this way,' Manfred Goldberg, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor, said.
School students are to get the chance to understand the horrors of the Holocaust by 'talking' to survivors, thanks to Artificial Intelligence and virtual reality. Amid rising antisemitism in the UK and as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, it is hoped the technology will allow for pupils to have a memorable experience of learning about what happened under Nazi Germany for generations to come.
Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said it is vital young people learn about the Holocaust as conspiracy theories and misinformation continue to be spread on social media. That while 'we're just facing the reality that Holocaust survivors are getting older and frailer and fewer'.
