Call for Datathon Applications – Unlocking Holocaust Testimony
Are you interested in testimonies of Holocaust survivors? Do you want to contribute to Holocaust research? Would you like to try cutting edge digital tools and methods?

The hands-on workshop facilitates the building of an annotated, standardised and verified corpus of Holocaust testimonies. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, survivors gave eye-witness accounts in many formats and contexts, including the early documentation campaigns immediately after the liberation and much later national and transnational oral history projects. Differing in length and style, language and media, the tens of thousands of testimonies still haven’t been fully exploited and compared in the research.
