The MOT has been criticized for its heavy reliance on new technology. Fiona Cameron explores concerns amongst members of the museum community who fear that with the increasing emphasis on new technology in museums, physical objects, which have long been the focus of these cultural institutions, will lose their significance. The MOT does hold a small collection of historical artefacts from the Holocaust, including a range of objects from concentration camps (prisoners’ clothing, bunk beds, etc.) and even letters by Anne Frank. These are displayed in glass cabinets on the upper floor of the museum, where visitors are led after their tour of the Tolerancenter downstairs. By facilitating interaction with related content, Digital Interactives serve to heighten the emotional impact of these authentic artefacts.
