We should not engage with Holocaust deniers. We will not give them the pleasure of having
a debate with respected institutions because they do not deserve this. Another thing that is important to me is that I do not negotiate. When I see a comment that is problematic, there will be no yellow card, warning number 1, warning number 2, because this is the extension of the institution that we are. – Paweł Sawicki
The digital environment of the museum has expanded significantly and draws inspiration from other institutions as well. Museums learn from each other, fostering a constant dialogue. This learning takes many forms, including podcasts, virtual guided tours, historical articles, and more. All the decisions and strategies implemented serve a singular purpose:
to commemorate the victims and convey a specific message. They provide people
with access to accurate history and facts about the place they aim to preserve. While ensuring that the content remains accessible, they also maintain high standards for the quality of discussions they expect from their followers. By blocking, reporting individuals, and responding to messages as needed, they act as custodians of online memory.
According to Dr. Richler-Friedman, institutions should support, encourage, and cooperate with young creators to ensure appropriate content. Working alongside influencers is
a beneficial approach. Institutions should establish flexible guidelines for using social media to assist those striving to do the right thing.
