The Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies is "a collection of over 4,400 videotaped interviews with witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust." The archive is part of Yale University's department of manuscripts and is located in Yale's Sterling Memorial Library in New Haven, Connecticut.[1]

Impact

The Fortunoff Archive "is internationally recognized as an innovator of videotaping eyewitness accounts of a major historical event, making these accounts intellectually accessible, and creating educational materials from them." The archive has served as inspiration for videotaping projects documenting other massacres such as the Cambodian genocide and ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, among others.[2]
