Book excerpt: Institutions that have collected video testimonies from Holocaust survivors are grappling with how to continue their mission to educate and commemorate. Examines the collections of three insitutions in the U.S. - the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Shoah Foundation (founded by Steven Spielberg) at the University of Southern California, and Yale University's Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. Calls attention to the ways that audiovisual testimonies of the Holocaust have been mediated by the institutional histories and practices of their respective archives. Argues that testimonies are shaped not only by the encounter between interviewer and interviewee, but also by technical practices and the testimony process. Analyzes the ways in which interview questions, the framing of the camera, and curatorial and programming preferences impact how Holocaust testimony is molded, distributed, and received.
