Soziale Medien als digitale Räume in der Erinnerung an den Holocaust Eine Vorstudie zur Twitter-Nutzung von Holocaust-Museen und Gedenkstätten

To date, few studies have investigated social media use in Holocaust organizations to engage general public and to help expand their knowledge of the Holocaust. We present an overview of the literature about the usage of social media for Holocaust memorialisation and education and a preliminary study on the usage of Twitter in a sample of six Holocaust museums or organisations in Germany and Italy. Along with the results of a first quantitative analysis, we also provide indications for future research.
