Voices of the Holocaust
http://voices.iit.edu/index.html
This collection of interviews is unique and up to now has not been easily accessible. While there is a tremendous effort around the world today to record the stories of survivors of the Holocaust, these interviews are special because Dr. Boder interviewed survivors in 1946 while they were still in displaced persons camps around Europe -- only one year after their liberation from the death camps.
