Visualising Evidence and Landscapes of Atrocities: An Ethical Perspective

In this chapter, we outline a case study from Alderney (The Channel Islands) which uses virtual heritage technologies to present forensic archaeological data. We assessed its impact on (i) UK secondary school students, and (ii) employees and visitors of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). In doing this, we sought to answer the following: Can virtual heritage environments, coherently and accountably disseminate forensic archaeological Holocaust data? How do users learn about the Holocaust from interacting with virtual heritage environments? What ethical considerations should be considered when constructing virtual Holocaust environments?
