Memory thrives on stories and images. But what happens when artificial intelligence generates images, imitates voices, and reassembles history? Amid digitized archives, deepfakes, social media bots, and algorithmically generated content, the boundaries between documentary, theatricality, and manipulation are blurring.

This discussion will shed light on the impact of AI on the culture of remembrance and historical consciousness. What opportunities do new technologies offer for accessing archives and teaching history? Where do new risks arise — especially regarding the memory of the Shoah and in addressing antisemitic disinformation? And how can historical knowledge be preserved when images and narratives are becoming increasingly easy to falsify? A conversation about the future of remembrance, responsibility in the digital age, and the question of how we tell — and protect — history.

Panel discussion with Matthias J. Becker (Antisemitism researcher), Ania Szczepańska (Historian and Filmmaker), Gina Wiedemann (Social Media Manager at Arolsen Archives) and Katharina Baumgartner (civic educator)
