Jewish family memory

Family preservation projects for holocaust-survivor families

Preserve testimony with the narrator's consent, original context, and restrictions intact.

A useful first pilot

Start by finding existing testimony and recording its archive reference and access terms. If a new interview is wanted, consult specialist guidance and let the narrator lead its scope.

Who owns the decisions?

Keep permission for family access distinct from permission for education, exhibition, or publication. Retain the original recording beside transcripts, translations, and selected excerpts.

What to measure

Success is a documented chain from the original testimony to any later use, with the narrator's wishes respected.

Discuss the project before inviting participants

These are proposed project workflows, not an announcement of a special partner contract, integration, discount, or institutional service level. Describe your participant count, access needs, output, and handover requirements so Pinkas can confirm current suitability.
