Those Who Were There: Voices from the Holocaust is the only podcast dedicated to sharing the history of the Holocaust through the first-hand testimonies of survivors and witnesses. The podcast draws on recorded interviews from Yale University’s Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, which comprises the oral histories of over 4,000 people. It took incredible courage for these individuals to revisit their memories of Nazi-occupied Europe and provide testimony to the Fortunoff Video Archive; it is our duty to listen and share, so that the horrific events of the Holocaust do not fade from memory.

Season Two of the series is a joint production between the Fortunoff Video Archive and the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in NYC. The ten episodes in Season Two will feature survivors who were recorded by the Museum of Jewish Heritage as an affiliate project of the Fortunoff Archive.
