Technology allows us to go beyond the exhibition space and tell the story of Auschwitz where it actually took place,’ added Aya Feldman from AppsFlyer, responsible for the creative work in the project.
The creation of the online guided tour project is also possible thanks to the support of global companies such as Orange, which has provided stable and high-speed wireless internet access throughout the Memorial, as well as the producer of the devices through which the guides will connect with visitors to the Memorial.
‘On behalf of the Foundation, which was responsible for raising funds, but also for building partnerships to support the project, I would like to thank all the donors, without whom the realisation of this unique project would not have been possible,’ added Wojciech Soczewica.
At various stages of its creation we could count on the support of many private and corporate donors, foundations, but also memorial sites from all over the world, who donated to us pro bono, among other things, the rights to the recordings of Survivors' accounts. Most noteworthy is the decision of the first cities and countries to donate funds to test the technology and to enable visitrs for schools. I very much hope that the launch of the app will help us implement this digital education programme around the world,’ said Soczewica.
In November of this year, AppsFlyer received this year's Global AWS Partner Award for the online tour project as the partner of the year in the field of social impact.
