When it is based on USC Shoah's Foundation's Visual History Archive of 55,000 audiovisual testimonies.

We Remember Marcus Segal

By: Moira Hamilton

On Monday I received a voicemail from Suzan Trevor that her father Marcus Segal had passed away. I had only just met Marcus, albeit virtually, weeks before when he shared his testimony with USC Shoah Foundation on January 26th. While saddened by the news of his passing, I’m filled with immense gratitude for having had the opportunity to hear his incredible life’s story in the final weeks of his life.
