Preserving presence across histories
The archive brings together Holocaust testimony, Stasi-era experiences and Black expatriate memories of the Second World War. Margot Friedländer, Ernst Grube and many other witnesses have been recorded, according to the programme. Volumetric capture preserves gesture and presence alongside speech.
An archive, with distinct productions
Volucap initiated the programme, led by Sven Bliedung von der Heide and Torsten Schimmer with international partners. Warsaw is one deployment within the broader archive. Programme-level counts and individual production counts overlap; they are not additive.
Access and further recording
Zeitzeugnis seeks donations for further capture and preservation. The operator reports selected testimony available in VR at Zeitzeugnis.org using EVE Browser, with further recordings developed through international partnerships.
