Long description about the interviewee

Welcome to the
USC Shoah Foundation Institute

Established by Steven Spielberg to gather the video testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust, the Institute today is a thriving part of the University of Southern Calfornia. Our ongoing work has expanded beyond that initial goal to cover the following major activities:

  • empower teachers with training and educational tools
  • increase academic integration, both in the U.S. and internationally
  • preserve and provide educational access to the archive
  • aid in efforts to collect and share memories of other genocides
