Searching for Never Again from the USC Shoah Foundation, explores the past and present of antisemitism and hate, and how together, we can defeat it.

The USC Shoah Foundation, working with the USC Dornsife Institute of Armenian Studies, a hub of research and learning that studies the contemporary Armenian diaspora and Republic of Armenia at USC, has recently collected three interviews with descendants and scholars of the Armenian Genocide to add to its collection of interactive biographies (Dimensions in Testimony).

The USC Shoah Foundation, the Voces Oral History Center at the University of Texas, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem in Israel are among those that have collected testimonies of survivors and liberators.

Understanding the experiences of survivors and victims builds an understanding of who these individuals were before, during and, for the few, after the Holocaust. Learning their stories can also introduce awareness of how intertwined our fates can be.

Robert J. Williams, the Finci-Viterbi executive director of the USC Shoah Foundation, tells Axios that the commemoration provides a venue for survivors to share their voices and "really tell us the world that they want to create before the last of them leave us."

Dr. Robert Williams, executive director of the USC Shoah Foundation, described the event as more than a traditional memorial. "Unlike reading a book or watching a movie, music has a way to evoke a different set of emotions when you are dealing with complicated subjects," he said.
