The Shoah Foundation was founded by Steven Spielberg in 1994 after Schindler's List, to collect video interviews of Holocaust survivors. The Foundation has to-date collected over 50,000 eyewitness testimonies in 57 countries in 32 languages, making it the largest video archive in the world. Last year the Archive and Foundation Institute was relocated to USC.
Incredibly, the Archive in its current state is catalogued and becoming accessible online. Executive Director Doug Greenberg will give us a tour and discuss the opportunities and challenges of this very ambitious endeavor.
