Survivors of the Shoah Collections

Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive

Visit the Visual History Archive to research and view more than 55,000 survivor and witness testimonials. These testimonials include Survivors of the Shoah Holocaust accounts, and also include more recent acts of genocide and crimes against humanity, such as the South Sudan Civil War, and the War and Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Since 2005, EVPL has also maintained a DVD-ROM collection of testimonials by Holocaust survivors living in our region, in partnership with the Shoah Foundation. Those testimonials can be viewed online from the Visual History Archive above, or the DVD-ROMs can still be requested at EVPL Central, and researched through this Index.

We encourage you to visit EVPL Central to learn more about this special collection or visit the Survivors of the Shoah digital archive.

About the Shoah Foundation

Unveiled at a Dedication & Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony at EVPL Central on September 19, 2005, the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History collection was made possible through a partnership with CYPRESS (Committee to Promote Respect in Schools). The generosity of director Steven Spielberg led to the creation of the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation in 1994, now known as the USC Shoah Foundation.
