Fellowships
FellowshipsWhen the COVID-19 pandemic reached Europe in March 2020, among several cultural institutions that closed their doors to visitors were also Holocaust memorials. Most institutions relocated on social media platforms establishing #DigitalMemorials or introducing new mediated forms of #RememberingFromHome. The research project analyses this current shift towards social media memory in context of the digital transformation of Holocaust memory in recent years.
