Mondays at Beinecke: The Art of Listening: Testimony-Centered Teaching Practices from the Fortunoff Video Archive

The Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies emerged from a grassroots effort of survivors in the New Haven area to document their stories on video, starting in the late 1970s. The archive’s origins in the survivor community led to the development of an interview method that centers the voice of the witness. This conversation will focus on how the Fortunoff Archive’s ethos and interview methodology shape its current work with educators.
