Holocaust Oral Histories
The Virginia Holocaust Museum has an extensive collection of testimony from survivors of the Holocaust as well as soldiers who participated in the liberation of concentration camps. Each narrative contains different themes based on the experiences of the individual; you will notice that we have provided a list of keywords that frequently refer to concentration camps, ghettos, or major cities.
Note: This is not a complete list of our oral history collection. This finding aid is being updated regularly as we continue to index the oral histories.
