A Wikipedia for WW2 testimonials

WW2 was over in 1945, more than 70 years ago. Witnesses, soldiers, civilians of the times and concentration camps survivors are disappearing. In 30 years from memories will start to fade away. A project from UN (or other international institutions) should record and preserve memories (movies, manuscripts, etc...), in order to reuse them in schools and other WW2 related activities. Posting on platforms like YouTube will help sharing and viewing the available material.

PROs

  • Memories from the WW2 will not fade away
  • Centralization, preservation and authentication of materials should be a supranational concern
  • Schools and institutions will have a easier way to access materials
  • Centralized and normalized historical data are easy to be analyzed for new discoveries/studies
  • Denial and misinformation will have harder times

CONs

  • Time is running out
  • Preserving materials for long time is expensive
  • Governments/UN should be involved
  • Hard to monetize, if monetization is needed
  • Current testimonials are not centralized
