Co-produced by immersive technology studio makemepulse and USC Shoah Foundation, this impactful virtual experience, titled Inside Kristallnacht uses cutting-edge technology to transport users into the infamous November Pogrom of 1938 - aka ‘The Night of Broken Glass’. 

Commissioned by The Claims Conference - a nonprofit organisation securing compensation and social welfare services for Holocaust survivors around the world - and supported by Meta and UNESCO, the immersive experience brings the events of November 1938 to life from the personal perspective of Dr Charlotte Knobloch, a prominent advocate of the Jewish communities in Germany. 

The 25-minute creative, directed by Ryan Fenton-Strauss, is led and narrated by 91-year-old Knobloch, who guides users through interactive reconstructions of key spaces and moments in her incredible story.

This isn't just about recounting the past—it’s about forging deep, emotional connections with stories of survival and resilience.  

In a time when empathy and understanding are more critical than ever, this project stands as a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s endurance. Our team is deeply committed to exploring how cutting-edge technology can be a vehicle for storytelling to create experiences that not only preserve history but inspire future generations to learn from it."
