St. Louis Holocaust Museum Preserves Survivors' Stories In Interactive Online Archive
https://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/st-louis-holocaust-museum-preserves-survivors-stories-interactive-online-archiveFor years, the cassette tapes gathered dust. The original master recordings were squirreled away in storage, with lesser-sounding copies made available to scholars upon request.
Now, a collection of 144 interviews with Holocaust survivors is available for easy access on the website of St. Louis’s Holocaust Museum & Learning Center.
The online archive includes photos and timelines depicting each interviewee’s story in addition to newly digitized recordings of the interviews.
It offers immediate access to the stories of people with ties to the St. Louis region who lived through the Holocaust — the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of Jews and other groups perpetrated by the Nazi-led German government and its collaborators before and during World War II.
