The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove is standing up against a rise in anti-Semitism on Long Island.
The Nassau museum presented a project involving artificial intelligence.
It's meant to keep the stories of Holocaust survivors alive for generations to come.
"We sit with survivors for days. We ask them questions. And then afterwards you can ask them anything just by looking at a screen. Where were you born? How old are you? What is your survival story? And all of a sudden you'll hear them respond to you in real time," says Dana Arisahin, Holocaust story teller. 
The event comes amid what officials call a rise in anti-Semitic rhetoric in pop culture, fueling attacks rooted in hate on Long Island.
It also comes ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day which is next week.
