The Role of 3D Models in Documenting Atrocities
3D models serve as a pivotal tool for reconstructing historical events and establishing relationships between various forms of evidence. In the context of Palestine, these models incorporate archival materials, aerial surveys, ground images, and personal testimonies from survivors, creating a multi-faceted understanding of traumatic events like the Nakba. By utilizing these models, researchers not only document past atrocities but also provide a means for survivors to navigate and engage with their memories safely. The intersections of these different types of evidence enhance the model's evidentiary value, making it a powerful resource for historical accountability.
