Local archive – An interface for collective memory, knowledge and education
In this episode, we are introduced to the modern practice of engaging archival material in public education programs and Holocaust commemoration. How to bring the Archives closer to the local community? What does the use of new media in the culture of memory bring us? What is the role of the Archives in the fight against the distortion of history? How important is local history for understanding the broader context of the European Holocaust and vice versa?

- Kori Street, program and operations director The Shoah Foundation at the University of Southern California
- Andrea Szőnyi, head of the international educational program The Shoah Foundation
- Olga Manojlović Pintar, historian, senior research associate at Institute of Recent History of Serbia in Belgrade
