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.
