Noah Sheker is the N. Milgrom and 6a Foundation Senior Lecturer in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Monash University\u2019s Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation. His research and teaching traverse Jewish Studies, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Cultural Studies, and Cinema and Media Studies. That interdisciplinary approach was at the center of his first book, Reframing Holocaust Testimony, <\/em>published in 2015 by Indiana University Press as part of its Modern Jewish Experience series.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe \u201cera of the witness\u201d marked by the consolidation of survivor memory through film, testimonies, and other media, is transitioning to a period in which witnesses will no longer be present to anchor those representations with their living, moral authority. It is a moment that has been anticipated for some time, contributing to scholarly examinations of \u201cpostmemory\u201d and the ways in which representations of the Holocaust might forge affective links to the past once survivors are gone. Museums find this new transition especially consequential, as they have relied on survivor docents to guide patrons through their halls, to lead public commemoration ceremonies, and to conduct community and student outreach. In the face of the looming aftermath of the aftermath\u2014one thrown into even starker relief in light of the health threats posed by COVID-19 to communities of survivors\u2014 institutions are grappling with ways to preserve the afterlives of Holocaust witnesses. This talk considers this critical juncture in Holocaust memory by examining various attempts to create digital afterlives of that event. The research upon which this talk is based aims to provide scholars, archivists, curators, and others, a new lens for interpreting and applying the DiT and other digital media representations of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
