04 PLACING THE HOLOCAUST2020-2024
The Holocaust was not limited to iconic places like Auschwitz and the Warsaw ghetto. It transformed
ordinary places – city streets, public squares, farm fields, forests. The Nazi regime and their
collaborators created thousands of places where civilians were confined, tortured, exploited, and killed.
The violence inspired their targets to create safe spaces, places to hide and resist. This interactive
website is the first place-based, text and mapping platform for studying where, and how, the Holocaust
unfolded, as described in survivor testimonies and perpetrator documents.
I am contributing methodology, data analysis, web design, and development to a new website that allows users to explore geographies of
the Holocaust from the scale of the continent to one person’s experience.
