Abstract:
This chapter traces the development of a new 360° filming format being used by the USC Shoah Foundation to record testimonies of Holocaust survivors at locations of significance to them. As the institution pioneers this new format of testimony collection and visual representation, new opportunities arise to reexamine the relation between narrative, memory, place, time, imagination and testimony. In addition to increasing our understanding about survivors’ experiences of place, the 360° filming format provokes powerful explorations of the relation between the past and the present, and the real and the imagined. 360° testimonies filmed on location can allow survivors to reflect on the realms of memory that are not only etched into the physical landscape but imagined in their memories of the past as well. USC Shoah Foundation is innovating this new format at a moment when the multitude of meanings associated with these places and these memories are at risk of being lost forever.
