I Was Here: Spatial Problems in Holocaust Survivor Interviews (Public Lecture or Presentation)Title: I Was Here: Spatial Problems in Holocaust Survivor Interviews
Abstract: This presentation explained the difficulties of trying to locate and map often highly ambiguous but important references to spaces and places mentioned in interviews with Holocaust survivors. It concluded with a large map of two survivor interviews that Knowles and Westerveld have made, which introduces a new approach to the problem, called topological mapping. This paper was part of the public conference, Visualization and the Holocaust.

“I Was There": Places of Experience in the Holocaust (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: “I Was There": Places of Experience in the Holocaust
Author: Anne Kelly Knowles and Levi Westerveld
Abstract: Holocaust survivor testimonies are rich with references to places, movement, and spatial perceptions, yet they are difficult and sometimes impossible to map in conventional ways. This paper proposed a new mapping method based on spatial relationships (topology) and on including all places of significance to the speaker. The resulting map, "I Was There," breaks new ground conceptually and suggests a new framework for more inclusive, humanistic GIS.

Integrative, Interdisciplinary Database Design for the Spatial Humanities (Article)Title: Integrative, Interdisciplinary Database Design for the Spatial Humanities
Author: Justus Hillebrand
Author: Anne Kelly Knowles
Abstract: Databases are central to the digital, spatial, and geohumanities.
There is surprisingly little scholarly literature, however, on the process of database construction in humanities projects. This article describes a process of interdisciplinary database design that emerged in the course of building the core sections of an historical GIS of Holocaust ghettos. The process foregrounds
collaborative design, testing that purposely flushes out
paradigmatic differences and ontological problems, and revision to incorporate group decisions and agreed-upon meanings into data structures, field definitions, and instructions for data entry. The result is a deeply integrative form of mixed methodology that incorporates ethical standards along with data entry instructions and team training.

“The Scale of the Holocaust: The Building and Spaces of the Holocaust, from the Micro to the Macro Dimension” (Public Lecture or Presentation)Title: “The Scale of the Holocaust: The Building and Spaces of the Holocaust, from the Micro to the Macro Dimension”
Abstract: The Holocaust was implemented at a great variety of scales. This paper looks at two of the least examined scales, namely that of the buildings and lived environments that constituted victims' everyday lives and the scale of the microbes that were vectors of epidemic diseases, such as typhus, that wreaked havoc on captives in ghetto and camps.

Abstract: This article explains the limitations of using GIS to map or analyze many of the ordinary places where important events took place in the lives of Holocaust survivors. We propose a new method called "topological mapping" to map non-coordinate places in approximate relation to coordinate places.

“Building an HGIS of Holocaust Ghettos: An Integrated, Interdisciplinary Model for Humanistic Database Construction" (Conference Paper/Presentation)Title: “Building an HGIS of Holocaust Ghettos: An Integrated, Interdisciplinary Model for Humanistic Database Construction"
Author: Justus Hillebrand
Author: Anne Knowles
Abstract: Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the opening of Soviet archives, scholars have written many important works about the ghettos in German-occupied Eastern Europe. The Holocaust Ghettos Project is the first major effort to study the geography of ghettoization, both as a spatial process and as particular acts that transformed places and individuals’ lives at different times, in different ways, across a vast region. Other papers in this and the following session will present work from the three branches of our project: a multi-part historical GIS of ghettos; textual analysis of a corpus of interviews with Holocaust survivors; and an historical, digital gazetteer of ghettos that will help us link survivor accounts to the GIS data. Our over-arching goal is to intersect and integrate the lived experience of the Nazis’ victims with perpetrator actions through the places where the Holocaust was implemented.
