From Living Memory to Living Archive: The Birth of Holocaust Centre North’s Archive
Alessandro Bucci
Why build a Holocaust archive now? How survivor relationships shaped archival practice From personal papers to public responsibility What a “living archive” means
today
Alessandro Bucci is Director of Holocaust Centre North, where he leads the organisation’s strategic, archival, educational, and creative
programmes. He has overseen the development and expansion of the Centre’s archive as a living, relationship-based collection rooted in survivor testimony, personal papers, and creative responses to Holocaust memory.
Alessandro works closely with survivors, families, archivists, artists, and academic
partners to shape an archive that responds both to historical responsibility and contemporary ethical questions, including the end of the era of living eyewitnesses, intergenerational memory, and the role of archives in a polarised present.
