The USC Shoah Foundation Institute is committed to expanding its archive to include testimony from survivors and witnesses of other genocides and crimes against humanity, and to make such testimony available for educational use around the world, alongside its current collection of nearly 52,000 testimonies of Holocaust survivors and other witnesses.

To that end, we have begun to work with partners around the world, sharing the expertise we acquired through the collection, indexing, preservation, and dissemination of the testimonies that are currently in the Visual History Archive. This has helped us to lay the groundwork and prepare for the expansion of the archive.

The video above shows select clips from survivors of the Holocaust, as well as other genocides that have occurred in recent history.
