Dr. Uta Larkey, Associate Professor of Modern Languages, taught a class from 2003 to 2013 titled, Oral Histories of Holocaust Survivors. The class was a community-based learning experience in which students interviewed Holocaust Survivors and then retold the survivors' stories. This website is the product of the students' work. The survivors represented here have given permission for their stories to be told. While the filming and sound are not professionally done, the connection between the students and the survivors is genuine and unmatched. Many of these survivors have been interviewed throughout their lives, but not by people two generations apart and in the comfort of their own homes.
