The original “Archive of Memory: Interviews with Survivors of the Shoah” was created in the 1990s in cooperation with the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies and the memorial site Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz.
The videographed interviews show the life stories of Jews persecuted during the Nazi era as well as the broad spectrum of Nazi persecution and the personal ways in which former victims processed their experiences. This video edition will be partially digitized for online presentation. By linking the transcripts and accompanying materials with linked open data, the integration into the portal “Jewish History online” is ensured. And it will be supplemented by educational material.
The technical and editorial experiences of the project serve at the same time as a prototype for the online presentation of further interview collections of the institute.
