Description

In August 2025 the location added a "Dimensions in Testimony"-format hologram interactive of Kizito Kalima, a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi — the first non-Holocaust survivor added to the USC Shoah Foundation's interactive-testimony format. Visitors watch a video essay, then ask spoken questions answered via natural-language matching to pre-recorded responses, the same technology and vendor relationship (USC Shoah Foundation) as the Virginia Holocaust Museum's Dimensions in Testimony installation.
