Screening of the film study “Testimony of HELP” using a mobile chest

Mobile chests were used during the screenings of the film study “Testimony of HELP”. This allowed school students to use VR goggles and watch the entire material prepared by the IPN’s New Technology Division.

“Testimony of HELP” is a virtual reality narrative about the blessed Ulm family, told from the perspective of six-year-old Basia, their youngest daughter. The story is presented in a deeply moving and poignant way, depicting the brutal events through the eyes of a child who perceives the world in her own unique way. The study concludes with a moral message, encouraging empathy and the importance of remaining humane, even in the most challenging circumstances.
