Responding to the HMD theme of keeping the memory alive, the National Holocaust Centre and Museum in Nottinghamshire has begun 3D filming the testimony of survivors. The recorded images can be projected as holograms and will also be interactive.

"Thousands of schoolchildren visit each year and all of them have the possibility to speak to a Holocaust survivor," said museum development director Sarah Coward.

"Future generations will no longer have that possibility, which is one of the biggest impact experiences of the visit. So we started to think about how we might be able to provide an experience which would have a similar impact." Filming began this month with the testimony of Steven Frank. Nine more survivors will be filmed to begin the project, whose financial backers include the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Mr Frank, 79, said: "I have given some 640 talks to visitors, mostly students aged 13 and 14. The fact that there is a survivor talking face-to-face is what makes it so important. With an ordinary video, you have this barrier between you. However, with the interactive video, they will see me and then be able to ask questions."

Filming his testimony took five days during which he answered 920 questions.

Further funding will be needed to film more survivors and complete the installation.
