(Jerusalem Post)(A reader pointed out that this archive includes an interview that R’ Aisak Ausband Zt’l (via pseudonym) gave about his experience in the war in 1946.)
Website created by Hebrew University has interviews dating back from 1959.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks with Max Mannheimer, a Holocaust survivor, at Dachau. Imagine stumbling upon a three-decade-old interview of your grandmother’s Holocaust experiences on YouTube, and then listening to her retell her account of Jewish resistance against Nazis in Poland. Gal Nordlicht, who had never heard his grandmother’s story, before could only describe the experience as “incredible.”
The Nordlicht’s are just one of many families who have discovered a relatives’ Shoah testimony online through the Holocaust Oral History Collection website, created by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Oral History Division in the Institute of Contemporary Jewry. It was launched last Thursday to overlap with the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass.
