The USC Shoah Foundation Institute's Visual History Archive makes available over 52,000 video testimonies of Holocaust survivors.

You may access the archive at any time by clicking on the Go to Archive link in the upper left. If this is your first time using the archive, please read the Getting Started section first.

If you wish, you can elect to view one of the sample testimonies.

(The Visual History Archive is only available via computers connected to the U-M Ann Arbor campus network. Please see the Getting Started section for technical requirements.)

Important Note: We have been experiencing difficulties recently with requested testimonies not transferring to our local cache. If you request a testimony and do not receive notice of its transfer within 24 hours, please email svha.help@umich.edu and let us know (include the name and ID of the testimony, if known).

If you are planning a visit from out-of-town to use the VHA: Please contact us first at svha.help@umich.edu so that we can work with you ahead of time to make your visit more productive.
