The Museum of Jewish Heritage’s “Survivor Stories: An Interactive Dialog” is an innovative AI-powered installation.

A new tech-forward installation at the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in Battery Park City uses non-generative AI systems to allow visitors to have conversations with 10 real Holocaust survivors. Each one a child at the time of the Holocaust, the subjects are now nonagenarians between the ages of 90 and 98, part of the rapidly diminishing last generation of survivors in the world. 

Dubbed “Survivor Stories: An Interactive Dialog,” the installation has also been uploaded to the institution’s website, available as a web resource for anyone who can’t make it in.
