The Holocaust Testimony Project
In honor of our 30th anniversary, the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh created a 2 part documentary, The Holocaust Testimony Project. Both parts are available in their entirety on our YouTube channel, featuring testimony from 17 local survivors.
Local Testimony at USHMM
Collection of oral testimony that consists of 35 interviews of Holocaust survivors and liberators in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area.
The Living Legacy Project
In 2015 and 2016, staff members of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh and photographer Ryan Michael White visited with Pittsburgh’s Holocaust Survivors and documented their stories.
USHMM Database
“The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Jeff and Toby Herr Oral History Archive is one of the largest and most diverse collections of Holocaust testimonies in the world. The Museum conducts its own interviews, and also actively collects testimonies produced by individuals and institutions such as libraries, archives, and local Holocaust research centers.”
The Last Survivors
“FRONTLINE offers a haunting look at how disturbing childhood experiences and unimaginable loss have affected the daily lives and relationships of some of the Holocaust’s youngest victims – from survivor’s guilt, to crises of faith and second-generation trauma.”
Voices of the Holocaust
“In 1946, Dr. David P. Boder, a psychology professor from Chicago’s Illinois Institute of Technology, traveled to Europe to record the stories of Holocaust survivors in their own words.
Over a period of three months, he visited refugee camps in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, carrying a wire recorder and 200 spools of steel wire, upon which he was able to record over 90 hours of first-hand testimony. These recordings represent the earliest known oral histories of the Holocaust, which are available through this online archive.”
Holocaust Survivors Centre
“The Holocaust Survivors’ Centre Interviews was a National Life Stories collaborative project with the Jewish Care Holocaust Survivors’ Centre, a Jewish social centre in north London for survivors who were in Europe during the Second World War or who came to the UK as refugees. The project ran between 1993 and 1998.”
