About Us
We give opportunity to survivors and witnesses to the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, contemporary acts of antisemitic violence, and other global events of persecution to tell their own stories in their own words in audio-visual interviews. We preserve these testimonies and make them accessible for research, education, and outreach for the betterment of humankind in perpetuity.
