In order to teach empathy, museums like the Jewish History Museum and the Holocaust History Museum commonly adopt storytelling in their interpretive framework by use of audio/visual techniques to convey the meanings contained within the spoken, written, physical and space, and even, increasingly, the virtual world.

Gugulethu Moyo will speak about how those same storytelling and empathy building techniques have become increasingly important to fundraising for the Jewish History Museum in an environment where museums and other cultural institutions are fighting to survive.
