" summary

A foundation builds a live, interactive platform to expand Holocaust education worldwide by streaming remote guided visits from Auschwitz‑Birkenau with live human guides, not prerecorded tours. It uses mobile devices, on‑site beacons, a secure Orange network across 200 hectares, and partners including AppsFlyer and Atomized Studios. The program trains 350 guides in 21 languages as camera operators, preserves original artifacts (100,000 shoes, 8,000 children’s shoes) and enters final software stage for launch in a few months with planned VR 360° experiences.
