Description
Discusses the nature and limitations of videotaped Holocaust survivor testimonies, with special reference to the over 100,000 hours of such testimony held in Steven Spielberg's Visual History Foundation (VHF). The Foundation's goal is to preserve, digitise, archive and make accessible its more than 50,000 video-recorded testimonies. Its philosophy is future-oriented: this is an exercise aimed at coming generations.
