The Future of the Past: Analyzing Early Holocaust Testimonies with Digital Tools

EHRI Webinar | 25 September 2024 | 3:00 PM CET | On Zoom

with Ildikó Barna 

In 2021, we started the research project “Revisiting Early Testimonies of Hungarian Jewish Holocaust Survivors through a Digital Lens” (in short, "Digital Lens") at the Research Center for Computational Social Science (RC2S2), ELTE University, Budapest. The basis of our research is reliant on the database of the National Relief Committee for Deportees (Deportáltakat Gondozó Országos Bizottság, DEGOB), which committee recorded more than 3,600 protocols between 1944 and 1946 in Budapest referencing to more than 5,000 survivors just returning from deportation. The DEGOB material we examine bases our inquiry on oral history, yet we approach our research questions with digital humanities tools, namely through computational history methodology.
