Answers to questions regarding access and use of the survivor testimony in the Museum's collection.
How do I access a recorded testimony?
The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust houses eight oral history collections containing over 3,800 oral history interviews.
To access these collections, please contact collections@mjhnyc.org with the name(s) of the interviewee(s) and a description of your research project. We especially encourage family members and descendants of interviewees to be in touch.
The Museum of Jewish Heritage is an access point for the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive, which contains over 50,000 oral history interviews with Holocaust survivors and other victims of genocide. This resource is available onsite while connected to the Museum’s public Wi-Fi via your own laptop, tablet or other mobile device. You can also access the archive with help from genealogists at the Peter and Mary Kalikow Genealogy Center on the ground floor of the Museum.
If your family member’s testimony is part of the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive, please contact them directly for special access.
