Welcome to LediZ! 

LediZ (Learning with Digital Testimonies) is a project network involving various academic institutions and departments. The aims of the project are to contribute to the remembrance of the Holocaust, to counteract anti-Semitism and racism and to use innovative media to instigate learning processes. To this end, the LediZ team has been developing interactive XR media on the Holocaust and Nazi crimes since 2018, preparing them for educational work and making them publicly accessible. On the following webpages, you can find out about new, interactive media formats that have been developed with and about Holocaust survivors.
