Abstract
Since their initiation in 2010, the interactive biographies of the Dimensions in Testimony project of USC Shoah Foundation have been central to discussions about the ethics of Holocaust memory in the digital age. The recent additions of foreign-language interactive biographies pose additional ethical and methodological questions to engaging with testimony via interactive technology. Giving detailed insight into the production process of the first German- and Russian-language interactive biographies, this article addresses the reception and integration of the project in the diverging German and Russian national memory discourses. Its authors argue that the project occupies a liminal space between the hyperconnected, the transnational and the local that demonstrates a redefinition of the role of the Holocaust archive after the connective turn.
