That's why we support the @ldml.bsky.social at the @sussex.ac.uk – strengthening the digital capacity, skills, and collaboration the field needs. ℹ️ Read the full survey: www.digitalmemorylab.com/global-digit...  🔎 About the project: www.alfredlandecker.org/en/projects/...  (3/3)

⚠️ 72% have encountered denial, distortion or hate online. At the same time, 43% have fewer than one full-time digital staff member. And AI is no quick fix: its use is not associated with fewer staffing challenges. (2/3)

📊 The most extensive survey to date on global digital Holocaust memory practice: @ldml.bsky.social ml.bsky.social gathered responses from 127 organisations across 36 countries. One key finding: online hostility is widespread across the sector.  (1/3)
