The Geography of ‘Fear’, ‘Sadness’, ‘Anger’ and ‘Joy’: Exploring the Emotional Landscapes in the Holocaust Survivors’ Testimonies

Summary/Abstract: Holocaust survivors’ testimonies offer a rich source on the personal experiences of thosewho witnessed and endured the horrors of the Nazi genocide of Jews and other persecutedgroups. These narratives contain references to the emotions felt while recalling memoriesof people, places, and events. Analyzing the spatiality of these human emotions helpsus understand how they connect to the places around them. We focus on fear, sadness,anger, and joy to examine the interplay of these emotional experiences across multipleindividuals, places, times, and circumstances. Understanding these complex emotionallandscapes, especially from large collections of textual data, requires a carefully designedtechnique that can apply both existing and new technologies effectively and efficiently.Therefore, in this work, we explore the possibility of extracting and analyzing theseemotions and their related geographies by employing a combination of natural languageprocessing methods, including large language models.
