Archiv der Erinnerung

This digital project traces its origins to the interview collection “ArchivedMemory. Interviews with Survivors of the Shoah,” which was established between 1995 and 1997 in collaboration with the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies (Yale University). At that time, 78 videotaped interviews were conducted with Jewish witnesses , most of whom lived in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. By making six representative interviews from the “ArchivedMemory” available online, the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European-Jewish Studies (MMZ) is creating new ways to engage with the original project. The portal also includes additional information and teaching materials related to these selected interviews (currently in German only).
