USC Shoah Foundation, Visual History Archive Online
Established by Steven Spielberg in 1994, the USC Shoah Foundation has recorded more than 54,000 video interviews with Holocaust survivors and other witnesses. USC Shoah Foundation’s mission is to overcome prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry-and the suffering they cause-through the educational use of its visual history testimonies. These testimonies have been digitized and indexed and are now accessible to educators, students, and researchers all over the world.
Rutgers provides access through its libraries to the full range of testimonies housed in the archive.
Currently, eighty-eight testimonies that were given in New Jersey are publicly available.
