This collection features powerful accounts of the Holocaust, told by survivors, rescuers, and witnesses, selected from USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive. The videos are divided into three sections: The Nazis in Power: Voices in Europe, The Holocaust, and After the Holocaust.
See our Teaching with Testimony collection for additional context and guidance on bringing video testimony from this collection into your classroom.
The resources in this collection, like any examination of the Holocaust, include historical descriptions and firsthand accounts that some students may find disturbing and need to be taught with intention and care. See the Preparing to Teach section of the Teaching with Testimony collection for guidance on teaching emotionally challenging content and establishing context for these videos.
The video testimony in this collection is from the USC Shoah Foundation—The Institute for Visual History and Education.
