With guest Steven Naron, Director of the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale UniversityIn 1979, a grassroots organization, the Holocaust Survivors Film Project, began videotaping Holocaust survivors and witnesses in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1981, the original collection of 183 testimonies was deposited at Yale University, and the Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies opened its doors to the public in 1982. Since then, the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies has initiated, recorded, and preserved witness testimonies in North and South America, Europe, and Israel. The collection of over 4,400 testimonies comprising more than 12,000 hours is available to researchers, educators, and the general public.Because refugees and survivors founded it, the Archive is a fascinating early example of using video oral history as a form of “archival activism” by and for survivors of mass violence. Its embeddedness in the community has had a lasting influence on all aspects of the Archive’s work, including its conceptualization, interview methodology, cataloging, and how the collection should be used in teaching and research. This presentation will explore this influence by examining the history of the collection, the archive’s role in helping to shift focus to the individual witness in Holocaust historiography, and some of the ethical challenges and obligations inherent in an archive of this nature.Light finger foods provided; please bring your own water.Sponsored by The Lois and Frank Lautenberg Jewish Lecture Fund in conjunction with Horizon Series: The Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology Colloquium

Narrated by Patrick Stewart, viewers witness an amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives. Some stars are massive. Others are tiny, nearly insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die.
