Description:

Through our research and educational programs, the Institute harnesses the power of its archive of personal testimonies from witnesses to genocide in order to do our part to build a better world. (Photo: Edith Umugiraneza, a survivor of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda; and George Weiss, a Holocaust survivor.) Learn more about us Through the personal narrative of Holocaust survivor Pinchas Gutter and other stories, participants in the Stories are Stronger Than Hate: A Call to Action student program will explore how stories create the possibility to learn about ourselves, about others and about how we can affect the change we want to see in our communities right now.… Countering Racism: Solidarity for Peaceful Change We mourn the murder of George Floyd and join the outcry for justice in his name. He is now linked to countless others who have suffered systemic violence, injustice and hate perpetrated against African Americans throughout a 400-year history in this nation. This legacy and manifestation of hate is still present today. Cornell University Library Acquires Permanent Access to Visual History Archive The ties between Cornell University and USC Shoah Foundation are many, and now, they are permanent: The Cornell University Library has acquired access to the Visual History Archive in perpetuity. Cornell University became the 52nd site to provide full access to the archive on an annual basis in November 2015, and the impact on research and education has been significant. This impact can now continue for generations to come, as the witnesses who gave testimony had hoped.

When you hear a story like that from your parents, you want to make things better.” Current Conflict Collections: How and Why USC Shoah Foundation is Collecting Testimony from Ongoing Conflicts The young woman stares at me as I wait to press play on the video. Her eyes are dark and her lips are pursed. You can see a bit of her thick black hair which is matted beneath an off-white, or perhaps a light-pink scarf. It is hard to tell the exact color in the shadowed room. I Watched Jojo Rabbit With a Former Hitler Youth “I am ashamed to say this,” Ursula said to me. We were sitting in her lovely Los Angeles home in the middle of the day on a Saturday in February. All the lights in her house were off, but the blue skies outside graced her face, her 90-year-old wrinkles defined. “I was so stupid to believe that when Hitler died, that the world would come to the end.” Live Zoom Discussion - My Name Is Sara Language: English Paul Parks on his being called to choose non-violence Language: English Gad Beck on rescuing his lover Manfred Lewin Gay Pride Month Language: German Stronger Than Hate, an initiative that draws on the power of eyewitness testimony to help students and the general public recognize and counter antisemitism, racism, xenophobia and other forms of hatred.
