A family project
Preserve a family's testimony with care
A considered preservation project around Holocaust remembrance, led by the wishes of the person sharing.
When to begin
Begin at least 12 weeks before the remembrance occasion. Participation must never be tied to a deadline.
Use the date observed by your own family and community. Work backward from that date; the project can stay small.
Your project
- Ask whether the family already has a recorded testimony.
- Let the speaker choose whether, when and what to discuss.
- Record access restrictions and keep original recordings unchanged.
- Consult specialist guidance before arranging an interview or a public presentation.
Start with one useful resource
Keep the result together
Store the original, the source and the sharing permission with the finished record. Ask one relative to review it before inviting a wider audience.
