The Museum of Jewish Heritage A Living Memorial to the Holocaust (New York
City) is hosting an exhibit, "New Dimensions in Testimony" which is using
holograms to depict two Holocaust survivors to whom a visitor may ask
questions. Information based on their testimony at Steven Spielberg's
USC-Shoah Foundation was programmed into the two holograms. The two
survivors' information are from the 52,000 interviews done by the USC Shoah
Foundation. The two "survivors" are Eva Schloss, Anne Frank's stepsister,
and survivor Pinchas Gutter. There is more information in Guttter's
database than Schloss's enabling more questions to be answered. The project
is a collaboration with Institute for Creative Technologies, and USC's Shoah
Foundation. The exhibit was first created in 2009 and has traveled to
different museums.

The exhibit will be at the Museum of Jewish Heritage A Living Memorial to
the Holocaust through December 22, 2017. More information on visiting the
Museum and exhibit are available at:
