Research and Teaching with the
USC Shoah Foundation Institute's Visual History Archive
Rutgers University is now one of a handful of American universities that has direct access to the USC Shoah Foundation Institute's Visual History Archive. We invite you to a faculty seminar to discuss the various ways in which the videotaped testimonies can be used in teaching and research.
The Institute's Visual History Archive houses 52,000 testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust. These interviews, which were filmed in 56 countries and were conducted in 32 languages, include discussions of the interviewees lives before, during, and after World War II. Dean Greenberg was Executive Director of the Institute at USC before coming to Rutgers. For more information on the archive visit: http://college.usc.edu/vhi/
The seminar is sponsored by Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences, the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life, and Rutgers University Libraries.
*To RSVP, contact Sherry Endick at the Bildner Center by Friday, October 1 at
