Day one focuses on Polish perspectives, scientific approaches, and a roundtable on the evolution of Holocaust discourse in Poland. Subsequent sessions explore manipulation, education, political rhetoric, and ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Special attention will be given to the role of social media, algorithms, and AI tools in spreading false narratives.

The program includes lectures, panel discussions, roundtables, and public events. The conference aims not only to diagnose the problem but also to develop strategies to counter digital forms of Holocaust denial and distortion.

Steering committee:

  • Jordanna Gessler (Holocaust Museum LA)
  • Dr. Agnieszka Haska (Polish Center for Holocaust Research)
  • Prof. Andrea Löw (Leibniz Institute of Contemporary History)
  • Dr. Zachary Mazur (POLIN Museum)
  • Prof. Antony Polonsky (Brandeis University)
