An interactive 3D facility will enable visitors to the National Holocaust Centre in Nottinghamshire to not only hear survivor stories, but potentially put hundreds of questions to them.

The centre marked its 20th anniversary with an interfaith service at Westminster Abbey for more than 700 people. Survivor testimony has been a key element of its work and leaders have been focusing on ways to educate a new generation of young people as the number of survivors diminishes.

At the reception following Sunday's service, a short film was screened about the interactive initiative, the Forever Project, which launches on October 30 with the stories of 10 UK-based survivors.

They include Steven Frank, who was liberated from Theresienstadt in 1945, three years after his father was killed at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Mr Frank said it was "absolutely unbelievable that technology has got to this stage. With this sort of work, students can ask questions."
