What We Do
The USC Shoah Foundation collects, preserves, and amplifies the voices of the past to build a resilient future. Our research programs, interactive technologies, and global-impact initiatives help foster insights and practical solutions to preserve Holocaust memory, confront antisemitism, and strengthen democratic values.
Innovative Approaches to Countering Antisemitism
We are expanding our efforts to record testimonies from those who have experienced antisemitism and launching new research initiatives to understand and counter the global resurgence in antisemitism.
Documenting The Terror Attacks
We have recorded more than 400 interviews with survivors and witnesses of the deadliest antisemitic attack since the Holocaust. These testimonies are part of our Contemporary Antisemitism Collection.
