'I felt like I returned to that same period from the start. I saw all these things, and I was reminded of some things that to this day I can't forget'
i24News reports that Holocaust educators and historians are using virtual reality to connect to younger people and keep alive the experiences of those who survived the Nazi genocide of European Jewry.
Seen through a virtual reality headset, the film “Triumph of the Spirit” takes viewers to the Auschwitz Nazi death camp, where more than 1.1 million people – some 90 percent of the Jewish – were killed in occupied Poland during World War Two.
"You see the shoes of the people, you see... all of their stuff," said 16-year-old David Bitton after watching the film in the Israeli capital of Jerusalem.
"When you watch it it’s like a nightmare that you don’t want to be in,” he told Reuters.
