“…Instead, during the same time, the so-called digital history community (Cohen et al, 2008) has decided to focus primarily on the potentialities of the Web as a platform for the collection, presentation, and dissemination of material (Cohen and Rosenzweig, 2005) and on the more 'communicative aspects' of doing research in the humanities (Robertson, 2016). This can be noticed by observing the importance given to digital public history topics (Noiret, 2015), the relevance of teaching in digital history (Cohen et al, 2008) and the tradition of digital history mapping (Knowles and Hillier, 2008).…”

“…This is especially relevant among historians, who have long felt confident in choosing prose as their main method of communication, while implying that illustrations and visualizations were not more than a form of decoration [Sta03]. In contrast, the recently formed field of digital public history aims to document, present, and convey historical research to a broad public through digital methods, including mapping and visualizing their data, and conceiving advanced visual interfaces [Noi15].…”

Based on a collaborative visualization design process involving sensitive historical data and historiographical expertise, we investigate the relevance of ethical principles in visualization design. While fundamental ethical norms like truthfulness and accuracy are already well‐described and common goals in visualization design, datasets that are accompanied by specific ethical concerns need to be processed and visualized with an additional level of carefulness and thought. There has been little research on adequate visualization design incorporating such considerations. To address this gap we present insights from Topography of Violence, a visualization project with the Jewish Museum Berlin that focuses on a dataset of more than 4,500 acts of violence against Jews in Germany between 1930 and 1938. Drawing from the joint project, we develop an approach to the visualization of sensitive data, which features both conceptual and procedural considerations for visualization design. Our findings provide value for both visualization researchers and practitioners by highlighting challenges and opportunities for ethical data visualization.
