Mission

Exploring how Holocaust museums, memorial sites and archives can make better use of digital technologies.

Memorial sites, museums, and archives are increasingly working with digital media, yet there's a notable gap in digital literacy, capabilities, and use of synergies. To fill this gap, the Alfred Landecker Foundation is supporting the University of Sussex in the establishment of the Landecker Digital Memory Lab. The new lab will be led by Dr. Victoria Grace Walden and enhance interdisciplinary and inter-sector dialogue about digital Holocaust memory. The Lab’s team will also develop a “living database,” an accumulative collection of projects and experiences in the field, offering Holocaust memory and education institutions valuable insights from historical digital practices. The aim is to inspire not only productive academic thought but also new practical initiatives.

Landecker Digital Memory Lab

Funded by the Alfred Landecker Foundation and located at the University of Sussex, the Landecker Digital Memory Lab serves as a central hub for research and interdisciplinary knowledge exchange on digital Holocaust memory in a time when Holocaust denial, distortion, contestation and trivialization has become increasingly prevalent.

For over 60 years, the aim of the university’s courses, research, culture and campus has been to stimulate, excite and challenge. From scientific discovery to global policy, from student welfare to career development, the University of Sussex innovates and takes a lead. And today, in every part of society and across the world, you will find someone from the University of Sussex making an original and valuable contribution.
