The ‘Testifying to the Truth’ Project: Rethinking Online Access to Holocaust Testimony

Toby Simpson and Jessica Green, The Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust & Genocide

The Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide’s Digital Team will present their ‘Testifying to the Truth’ project, which aims to shine light on the valuable and under-utilised testimonies of persecuted minorities during the Holocaust. The work of Holocaust survivors has played an important educational role across communities in the UK, but in-person visits are becoming increasingly impossible. To keep their voices alive and help more people around the world bear witness, the Library is working to translate, digitise, and make freely accessible online their rare collections of early Holocaust testimony.
