Holocaust testimonies serve as a bridge between survivors and history’s
darkest chapters, providing a connection to the profound experiences of
the past. Testimonies stand as the primary source of information that
describes the Holocaust, offering first-hand accounts and personal
narratives of those who experienced it. The majority of testimonies are
captured in an oral format, as survivors vividly explain and share their
personal experiences and observations from that time period.
Transforming Holocaust testimonies into a machine-processable digital
format can be a difficult task owing to the unstructured nature of the
text. The creation of accessible, comprehensive, and well-annotated
Holocaust testimony collections is of paramount importance to our
society. These collections empower researchers and historians to
validate the accuracy of socially and historically significant
information, enabling them to share critical insights and trends derived
from these data.
The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how various
theories, techniques, and tools from corpus linguistics, natural
language processing, and digital humanities can contribute to the
examination, analysis, dissemination, and preservation of Holocaust
testimonies and other Holocaust-related documents.
The workshop is supported by CLARIN and EHRI.
