One of the most interesting activities of the Westerbork Memorial is the use of new educational tools, for instance, Virtual Reality.
“I think this guided tour showed us and gave us pointers as to how we should behave and what we could also do when we give tours in Auschwitz. We were also shown new educational techniques that relied on virtual reality solutions. It was also a very interesting topic but I think it would be very difficult or impossible to use the same techniques at the Auschwitz Museum. I might be quite orthodox or conservative in terms of these issues, but I do believe that you need a human being to actually give and describe the details of these very touching stories.”
To conclude, Tomasz Michaldo stated that the overall experience of the study tour “opened up new avenues and perspectives for their [tour guides’] own development.”
