You are invited to take part in a Dimensions in Testimony experience to learn first-hand how technology can enhance the human experience and change the lens through which we see the world.

The Dimensions in Testimony experience enables people to ask questions that prompt real‐time responses from pre‐recorded video interviews with Holocaust survivors and other witnesses to genocide. Developed by USC Shoah Foundation, and adapted by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the pioneering project integrates advanced filming techniques, specialized display technologies and next generation natural language processing to create an interactive biography.

At the Museum, the Dimensions in Testimony experience demonstrates how adapted technology can create deep social impact, While the Canadian Museum for Human Rights did not invent the technology, our implementation is where transformation occurs. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first museum in Canada to bring this experience to the public, embedding it into our human rights education mandate, curating the experience for emotional resonance, ensuring accessibility and contextualizing it as a living dialogue with memory. The approach turns a traditional gallery into an interactive learning space where dialogue drives understanding. Instead of passively listening, students and visitors shape their own learning through their questions – an approach that nurtures curiosity, agency and empathy.

Now and far into the future, museum‐goers, students and others can have what feels like conversational interactions with eyewitnesses to history to get their point of view.

Through Dimensions in Testimony at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, visitors can engage with the stories of two Canadians who survived the Holocaust. Pinchas Gutter answers in English, vividly recalling his time in Nazi concentration camps and what came next. Marguerite Élias Quddus answers in French, sharing her story of surviving the Holocaust by hiding her Jewish identity.
