New Partnership Brings Canadian Testimonies to Visual History Archive

Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre (MHMC) and Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre in Toronto announced an historic agreement to have their testimonies integrated in the Visual History Archive as part of the Institute’s Preserving the Legacy initiative.

Under the shadow of Paragraph 175: Part 1: Albrecht Becker

By: Jeffrey Langham

The Holocaust collection in USC Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive contains over 59,702 testimonies; however, only a mere six of those testimonies are from survivors who were persecuted by the Nazis for being gay: one in English, three in German, one in French, and one in Dutch. There are other gay survivors we have in the Archive, but they were persecuted by the Nazis for the greater sin of being Jewish; Gad Beck being one of them.
