Through Dimensions in Testimony, students and educators can ask questions that prompt real-time responses from a pre-recorded video of Holocaust survivors—engaging in virtual conversation, redefining inquiry-based education. Dimensions in Testimony was developed in association with Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, with technology by USC Institute for Creative Technologies, and concept by Conscience Display. Integration in IWitness is made possible through the generous support of The Snider Foundation.
