From Our Family to Yours

Founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, and housed at USC since 2006, USC Shoah Foundation is the caretaker of the Visual History Archive: 55,000 testimonies of Holocaust and genocide survivors and witnesses that fuels programming around the world to educators, scholars, organizations, and community members.

The Visual History Archive contains countless treasured family stories, including members of the Trojan family, and during Trojan Family Weekend, we invite you to experience our work in this virtual event.

Visual History Archive Webinar

In this webinar, the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research team will provide a deep dive into the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive, including its history; methodologies of testimony collection, preservation, and indexing; current state of the archive and its collections; and how to use its search engines and interface for research and teaching. The participants will learn how to unlock the research potential of the archive and be able to ask questions and get assistance with effectively searching the archive.

Sh'loshim Retrospective

A Holocaust survivor saved by Oskar Schindler who gave testimony to the Visual History Archive, the late Hazzan Moshe Taube z''l went on to become one of the great cantors of his generation. During this retrospective event, hosted by Hazzan Robert Kieval and produced by the Cantors Assembly, we will hear classic recordings and recollections of colleagues and friends.
