Ep. 50- Digital Humanities and the Holocaust with Todd Presner

1 tim 19 min•31 mars 2025

How can the digital humanities address and explore the Holocaust? In these days of Chat GPT, we may be rightly wary about the use of computers to analyze the past. However, today’s episode shows how an ethical approach to using computational methods can expand our understanding of the past often by showing us new questions that we hadn’t considered before.

In this episode, I talk with Todd Presner about his fascinating and impressive work with the “big data” of recorded Holocaust testimony.

Todd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies at UCLA.
