AI Bridges Generations: Holocaust Stories Live
13 Feb
Summary
- AI technology will preserve Holocaust survivor testimonies for future generations.
- Orlando's Holocaust Museum for Hope & Humanity will feature interactive AI.
- The project aims to make history personal and emotionally resonant.

A new Holocaust Museum for Hope & Humanity, set to open in Orlando in 2027, will utilize advanced AI technology to preserve survivor testimonies. The museum is recording stories from local survivors, including Suzanne Schneider and Harry Lowenstein, using StoryFile's AI-powered platform. This technology creates interactive digital facsimiles of survivors, enabling future visitors to engage in conversational question-and-answer sessions.
Schneider, who experienced hiding and the horrors of Nazi Germany, shared her memories to ensure future generations understand the Holocaust. Lowenstein, a survivor of multiple camps, and Allied "liberators" will also be featured. This initiative aims to make historical lessons more personal and impactful, connecting visitors emotionally with the past.
The Holocaust Center has invested approximately $250,000 per subject for this technology, seeking sponsors to fund the project. This effort prioritizes local Florida stories, a shift from an earlier partnership with USC Shoah Foundation that focused on broader archival content. The new museum's location is planned for the former Orlando Chamber of Commerce building.
