Holocaust testimonies
The AJR has produced the ground-breaking audio-visual testimony archive, Refugee Voices. A collection of 300 filmed interviews creates a legacy of the experiences of the refugees and will advance and enhance Holocaust research for future generations.
The AJR's ‘My Story’ project tells the life stories of Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors through the production of individual life story books to be kept as treasured memories and tools for reminiscence and to raise awareness about the Holocaust and Nazi oppression.
