As of 2020, only 400,000 Holocaust survivors were still alive.

Archivists, historians, and family members are working to capture their stories before they’re gone.

The University of Southern California’s Shoah Foundation is taking recording these survivor testimonies one step further.

With the help of AI, anyone can have an interactive conversation with a survivor online, even after their death. Users can ask questions and get an answer in real-time.

CBS News reports:

We talk with folks behind the project — and meet Holocaust survivor Pinchas Gutter.
