A Journey Back Wins Best Use of Digital International at the Museum + Heritage Awards

We are thrilled to announce that A Journey Back has won Best Use of Digital – International at the Museums + Heritage Awards 2025.

This award, shared with our incredible partners at the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, means a great deal to all of us. We’re honoured to have our work recognised by such a prestigious event in the museum world.

About A Journey Back

A Journey Back is a groundbreaking VR experience that allows audiences to step into the personal histories of Holocaust survivors – Marion Deichmann, Rodi Glass and Doris Fogel – immersing them in powerful, first-person testimonies. Through innovative storytelling and cutting-edge virtual reality, we’ve worked to preserve these essential narratives and bring them to new generations in an engaging and impactful way.

Why This Win Matters

This award is a recognition of the creative risks we took, the deeply collaborative effort across teams, and the responsibility we felt in telling these stories. Most importantly, it honours the voices of the survivors who trusted us with their memories.

To everyone who contributed to this project – our team, our partners, the Museum, and the survivors – we share this win with you.

Join Us in Celebrating

We’re incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement we’ve received. This win pushes us forward and reinforces our belief in the power of immersive storytelling.
