Virtual Holocaust Museum 'Voices of the Forgotten' Opens in Fortnite Game World

In Fortnite, game developer Luc Bernard has introduced a virtual museum titled 'Voices of the Forgotten,' dedicated to the Holocaust. This museum, available in private sessions, focuses on educating visitors about Jewish resistance fighters and those who rescued victims during the Holocaust, all within a minimalist environment that restricts typical gameplay activities. It includes text displays on notable figures such as photographer Claude Cahun, with some information taken from Wikipedia. This project represents a new direction for Fortnite, which has historically limited experiences to those created by Epic Games or its official partners. Bernard seeks to prevent the dissonance experienced in a 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. event. The museum prompts discussions on how to honor historical tragedies in digital realms.
