SUMMARY:In the First Person: Yale University Library and the Fortunoff Vide
 o Archive for Holocaust Testimonies
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\nThursday\, July 25\, 2024 to Tuesday\, January 28\, 20
 25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarking the forty-fifth anniversary of the first videota
 ping by the Holocaust Survivors Film Project\, a grassroots New Haven comm
 unity initiative that evolved into the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocau
 st Testimonies\,&nbsp\;In the First Person&nbsp\;is the first large-scale 
 public exhibition of footage from this groundbreaking collection. Powerful
  excerpts from nineteen video testimonies presents the experiences of surv
 ivors and witnesses to the atrocities and genocide committed by Nazi Germa
 ny and its collaborators.\n\nThese videos are presented alongside a displa
 y of books\, pamphlets\, manuscripts\, documents\, and other items from th
 e collections of Yale Library that presents a history of Jewish efforts to
  document anti-Jewish persecution by means of eyewitness accounts\, from t
 he Kishinev Pogrom of 1903 through the Holocaust and its aftermath.&nbsp\;
 The exhibition confronts the myth that survivors were silent about their e
 xperiences in the immediate post–World War II period and provides furthe
 r context for understanding the Fortunoff Archive’s historical significa
 nce and impact.&nbsp\;\n\nTaken together\, these materials reveal longstan
 ding Jewish practices of documentation following periods of destruction an
 d violence. While the Fortunoff Archive has been pathbreaking in harnessin
 g the potential of video technology\, it also participates in a Jewish tra
 dition that extends as far back as the Biblical commandment to remember th
 e past.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n
 \n\n\nThis very special program runs until January 25\, 2025. Visit soon!\
