Todd Presner. Ethics of the Algorithm
In Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory, Todd Presner seeks to respond to what he sees as a “big problem”: how to use computational methods “in ethical” ways to distant read vast Holocaust testimony archives (vii). While the book is rich in discussions of a range of current digital humanities methods and tools, its focus is very much on a core set of ethical concerns that persist regardless of the precise, ever-changin…
Geographies of the Holocaust
This article responds to the widespread and oft-noted challenges digital humanists face in working with data that is uncertain and characterised by complex narratives. Using an example drawn from the vast archives of post-war interviews with Holocaust survivors, it draws on approaches developed in Qualitative Spatial Representation (QSR) to explore how two key spatial aspects of survivor's narratives – their uncertain wartime trajectories and the…
Following The Rough Guide to Góra Kalwaria
This article uses comparative analysis of the editions of The Rough Guide to Poland published in the 1990s to argue that a memory tourism of absence was being offered to western visitors. This differed from existing categories of tourism — dark tourism, Holocaust tourism, Jewish heritage tourism — by directing visitors to see the places where Jews lived before the Holocaust, and where their memory was in danger of being erased in both the communi…

(Re)Placing the Past
This article explores the ways that space and place operate in Holocaust survivor oral histories, in particular as ways to position self and others when retelling difficult stories. Drawing on a range of oral history interviews, I examine how place functions in oral history narratives in complex ways. On the most obvious level, the events being described not only occurred in a different time but also a different place with distance and disjunctur…
Holocaust roadscapes
During the final year of the war, mass evacuations westwards from concentration camps on foot brought the European road network into the orbit of Holocaust landscapes. The routes of these so-called “death marches” that criss-crossed Europe have been followed by a wide variety of pilgrims, ranging from Holocaust survivors retracing former journeys they made half a century before (oftentimes accompanied by family members, and in some cases, documen…
The Place of Things in Contemporary History
This essay examines the variety of ways that historians have engaged with material culture in their work over the last few decades. Although textual records from the archive remain privileged sources, the diversity of historiographical approach has led to a range of historiographical practices including a material turn. Two major approaches to objects have dominated. Dubbed ‘object driven’ and ‘object centred’, these variously use objects as evid…
The Perpetrator-Bystander-Victim Constellation
The actions, reactions, and motivations of perpetrators, victims, and bystanders are the focus of Holocaust and genocide research. The greatest emphasis has always been on the perpetrators, however, and the examination of the role of bystanders—and even the definition of the term itself—has been relatively neglected. This article explores the complex interrelationships within and among these three groups, with the groups being viewed as covering …
Creating a Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections
As technologies to digitize primary source content mature and become better understood, more widely accessible, and more efficient, the volume of available digital content increases and issues of integration and aggregation become more important. Today's digitization project managers must give high priority to factors such as reusability, persistence, interoperability, verification, and documentation when planning their projects. Digitization pro…
