To foster digital memory culture and encourage exploration of one’s own family history.
As historical revisionism and Holocaust denial are on the rise, it is more important than ever to create engaging, contemporary approaches to remember the Holocaust and other Nazi crimes that reach a broad audience. In response, the Memorial for the Victims of the Euthanasia Killings, supported by the Alfred Landecker Foundation and working with the game studio ROTxBLAU, is developing a digital game based on family memories of the Nazi era. The game, titled “Meine Oma (88)”, not only explores the “euthanasia” crimes but also sheds light on transgenerational memories of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution within families, the transmission of trauma, and the long-term consequences of repression and forgetting.
