The Visual History Archive® is a collection of audiovisual interviews with witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust and other genocides and it allows users to search through and view more than 50,000 of these video testimonies.

Originally set up to collect interviews with witnesses and survivors of the European Holocaust, 1939-1945, the archive now also includes video testimonies from the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923), Nanjing Massacre (1937), Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda (1994) and the Guatemalan Genocide (1978-1996).

Why not give this fascinating resource a try?
