Visual
History Archive at Monash University
Monash University is the first Australasian university to provide access to the Visual History Archive of the USC Shoah Foundation
Institute for Visual History and Education. This access is made possible
through the generous support of Lee Liberman and the Pratt Foundation.
With a collection of nearly 52,000 video testimonies of Holocaust
survivors and other witnesses, in 32 languages and
from 56 countries, this is the largest visual history archive in the
world. The Institute interviewed Jewish survivors, homosexual survivors,
Jehovah’s Witness survivors, liberators and liberation witnesses,
political prisoners, rescuers and aid providers, Roma and Sinti survivors
(Gypsy), survivors of Eugenics policies, and war crimes trials
participants.
The Institute relies upon partnerships in the United States and around the
world to provide public access to the archive and advance scholarship in
many fields of inquiry. Since
March 2007, more than 2,000 interviews recorded in Australia are now cached on
Monash University servers, and are immediately available for teaching and research.
All other interviews are made available within 48 hours of your request.
