The USC Shoah Foundation Robert J. Katz Research Fellowship in Genocide Studies enables an advanced standing PhD candidate to spend up to a month in residence at the Center every year.

The Margee and Douglas Greenberg Research Fellowship, the first endowed fellowship for the Center, enables an advanced standing PhD candidate to spend up to a month in residence at the Center every year. The result of a generous gift from Margee and Douglas Greenberg, the fellowship is bestowed by a panel of USC researchers and professors who vet proposals for their originality and potential to make advancements in the field through the use of testimonies in the Visual History Archive.
The Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence fellowship is the Center's most prestigious invitation-only fellowship. It enables one esteemed senior international scholar per year to spend a two-week residency at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research and the USC Shoah Foundation for consultation, conversation, and research with the Holocaust and genocide research resources at USC, including the USC Shoah Foundation VIsual History Archive.
“We Share The Same Sky” Is The First Testimony-Based Podcast Presented By USC Shoah Foundation
The Institute for Visual History and Education introduces its first-ever testimony-based podcast, We Share the Same Sky. In a seven-episode arc, We Share the Same Sky presents an intimate portrait of Rachael Cerrotti’s family history and her own personal journey of love and loss as she retraces the steps of her grandmother, Hana Seckel-Drucker, who was displaced across Europe during and in the wake of World War II.
In memory of Holocaust survivor Jack Welner, who became soulmates with his USC Shoah Foundation interviewer
We are saddened to hear of the recent passing of Jack Welner, who survived a Jewish ghetto in Poland, a labor camp near the Dachau concentration camp in Germany, and the Auschwitz Nazi death camp in Poland – where his mother was murdered on arrival – before immigrating to Denver, Colorado, where he began a new life. He was 98.
When Welner gave his testimony to USC Shoah Foundation in 1995, it changed his life.

Deaths by guns is not unique anymore in American contemporary culture. And mass executions by guns were prevalent during the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide. In America today, mass shootings, particularly in schools, have caused devastation.
