GAM Genocides Page Intro
The personal histories from several different genocides in one archive
USC Shoah Foundation 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 more than 57,466 testimonies of Holocaust survivors and other witnesses.
To that end, USC Shoah Foundation works with partners around the world, sharing the expertise the Institute acquired through the collection, indexing, preservation, and dissemination of the testimonies that are currently in the Visual History Archive.
Today the Visual History Archive contains video testimonies from the Holocaust, Armenian Genocide, Nanjing Massacre in China, Guatemalan Genocide and the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
The Institute continues to add new collections. Each builds context for the others, providing multiple pathways to learn from the eyewitnesses of history across time, locations, cultures and social-political circumstances.
