Proceedings of the First Workshop on Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources (HTRes) @ LREC-COLING 2024

In Nazi concentration camps, approximately 20 million people perished. This included young and old, men and women, Jews, dissidents, and homosexuals. Only 10% of those deported survived. This paper introduces “Voci dall’Inferno” project, which aims to achieve two key objectives: a) Create a comprehensive digital archive: by encoding a corpus of non-literary testimonies including both written and oral sources. b) Analyze the use of Dante’s language: by identifying the presence of Dante’s lexicon and allusions. Currently, the project holds 47 testimonies, with 29 transcribed in full text and 18 encoded using the XML-TEI format. This project is propelled by a multidisciplinary and educational context with experts in humanities and computer science. The project’s findings will be disseminated through a user-friendly web application built on an XML foundation. Though currently in its prototyping phase, the application boasts several features, including a search engine for testimonies, terms, or phrases within the corpus. Additionally, a browsing interface allows users to read and listen the original testimonies, while a visualization tool enables deeper exploration of the corpus’s content. Adhering to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines, the project ensures a structured digital archive, aligned with the FAIR principles for data accessibility and reusability.
