Working in partnership with the USC Shoah Foundation, the Florida Holocaust Museum will conduct multi-day filming sessions using a multi-camera recording system to capture thousands of responses to questions from Holocaust survivors. These recorded responses will form the basis of the interactive testimony biographies. The project team will engage a media production company to create short introductory films offering historical background and personal context, helping visitors better understand each survivor's life and experiences before engaging with the interactive testimonies. The resulting resources will become permanent fixtures in the museum's immersive theater, primarily serving students in grades 5–12 who participate in on-site educational programs and guided school tours, while strengthening Holocaust education for all visitors. Performance occurs in St. Petersburg, Florida, with a period of performance running through August 31, 2027.
