With some 300 interviews in its collection–more than 100 of which are online at http://holocaust.umd.umich.edu–the Voice/Vision Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive at the University of Michigan-Dearborn is a resource that’s useful to people around the world.
“Having interviews available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week offers unprecedented accessibility to our collection,” said Jamie Wraight, curator and historian of the Archive.
“It’s what sets us apart from other Holocaust survivor oral history projects. People can hear the personal stories of Holocaust survivors, in their own voices, no matter where in the world they are.”[Snip]
“Other oral history collections exist but not on the Web,” [Librarian Barbara] Kriigel noted. “Kids are comfortable with technology and the Internet. That’s why we do this. We’re doing it for future generations. Someday, the survivors will be gone but this Archive will live forever.”
