Interactive theater where holographic survivors answer visitors' spoken questions in real time.

This guide to the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Chicago is built around a theater where a projection of Auschwitz survivor Fritzie Fritzshall answers visitors' spoken questions in her own voice. It traces how she recorded the sessions in 2016 at a specialized Los Angeles studio, fearing that survivors' truth would fade once they were gone, and the old stage trick of angled glass and hidden projectors that makes her image seem to float in the room. Ask her something, then listen for the pause before she answers.
