As Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel has observed, The

Holocaust must never be studied exclusively from the perspectiveof the perpetrators. Each survivors story is unique, and adds to

our understanding of the Holocaust and the understanding of

future generations.

Yad Vashem and the Holocaust Survivors Memoirs Project, with

the World Federation of Bergen-Belsen Associations assistance,

have embarked on a mission to publish Holocaust survivor

memoirs in English. Our goal is to collect, preserve, and make

available to interested readers the autobiographical accounts of

Holocaust survivors.
