USC Shoah Foundation Institute completes preservation of Holocaust testimonies

USC Shoah Foundation Institute completes preservation of Holocaust testimoniesThe USC Shoah Foundation Institute has completed a multiyear, multimillion-dollar project to digitally preserve the video interviews in its Visual History Archive. The archive contains testimony from nearly 52,000 Holocaust survivors and other witnesses. "The completion of this effort is one of the most significant milestones in our 18-year history," USC Shoah Foundation Institute Executive Director Stephen D. Smith said. "It helps guarantee that survivors' voices will be heard, that their faces will be seen, and that their memories will endure for generations to come."
