The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ of New Jersey recorded 136 video testimonies with Holocaust survivors between 1990 and 2011. Most took place between 1990 and 1995. One survivor left two testimonies and two survivors share a single screen. Though the primary language of most of the videos is English, two survivors elected to tell their stories in Yiddish.

°Õ³ó±ðÌý at Yale University maintains our collection, which comprises a fraction of their nearly 4,700 testimonies. Thanks to the archive’s generosity, Ramapo students, faculty, staff, and visitors have on-campus (and VPN) access to all of the Fortunoff testimonies via Potter Library.
