ABSTRACT
The oral testimonies of survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust stand as a most personal and visceral record of the strength of the Jewish people, of those who helped, and those who murdered, and so that we may remember the lives and futures lost of those who perished during the Holocaust. Oral accounts bring to life the seemingly impossible circumstances of the persecuted and the hunted, who lived and died through the most horrible of circumstances at the hands of their fellow men and women. Through these testimonies can also learn about the hopes, dreams, and acts, of those who lived and whose lives were recorded by the survivors. They give the briefest glimpse into the lives of the innocents which were cut short simply because of their beliefs and heritage.
