#TAKINGYOUBEYOND
OUR STRATEGY
Digital Edge built a website which incorporates advanced features that enhance accessibility and engagement.
Interactive maps highlight survivor movements across the world, offering a visual representation of their journeys.
A sophisticated search function allows users to locate specific parts of interviews using time-stamped transcripts, while cross-referencing tools provide deeper insights into each story.
Documents related to interviewees’ life stories add further context, ensuring that the testimonials are presented with the depth and detail they deserve.
The platform is designed for scalability, ensuring that it will continue to grow and evolve, making it a lasting resource for future generations.
Wix was instrumental in bringing this project to life. Its versatility and user-friendly interface allowed Digital Edge to integrate complex features while maintaining ease of use for ongoing updates.
Wix Velo provided the flexibility to create custom functionalities, ensuring that the site could handle large amounts of multimedia content while delivering a seamless user experience.
Without Wix’s robust infrastructure, this groundbreaking project would not have been possible.
THE BRIEF
When Holocaust Testimony UK first approached Digital Edge, their requirements were ambitious, and even they doubted whether their vision could be fully realised.
Using Wix’s powerful tools and scalable platform, Digital Edge successfully brought together multiple archives and collections from 22 world-leading partners.
Each partner needed to approve content during the build and again before launch, making this website a truly collaborative achievement.
The project’s significance was underscored when Ian and Graham were invited to Lancaster House in London to meet partners and government officials, a moment that reinforced the profound impact of this initiative.
THE OUTCOME
The Holocaust Testimony UK website has created an enduring, accessible archive that preserves and shares survivor testimonies, ensuring their voices remain heard for generations to come.
By consolidating interviews from multiple institutions and equipping users with advanced search tools, interactive maps, and cross-referencing features, the site has transformed how history is studied and understood.
Its intuitive design makes it a valuable resource for educators, historians, and families, allowing deeper engagement with these powerful stories. As a vital tool against Holocaust denial and distortion, the platform not only safeguards the memory of those affected but also reinforces the importance of education in preventing history from repeating itself.
The success of this project stands as a testament to the impact of digital innovation, proving that technology can preserve history with depth, integrity, and accessibility.
