Holocaust Resource Center - Personal Testimonies

Events | Photos | Materials | Links | Home

One of the on-going projects of the Holocaust Resource Center at Albright is to collect personal testimonies from Holocaust survivors and liberators. Currently, we have over 3 dozen videotaped interviews available for circulation. Many of these feature the stories of local Berks County residents. When searching for these materials in the online catalog, select the search limit scope "Search Holocaust Library" and use the keywords "personal narratives."

Below are links to clips from two of these recordings of personal experiences. You will need to download the free QuickTime player in order to view them. These video clips are large files and may take several minutes to download!
