This page provides three worksheets created by the USC Shoah Foundations that can be used to help organize your thoughts as you watch and analyze testimonies from survivors of a range of systematic mass crimes from the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust to the Rwandan Genocide and the mass violence against the Rohingya that are available through the Visual History Archive.
The USC Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive allows users to search through and view more than 54,000 video testimonies of survivors and witnesses of genocide.
Initially a repository of Holocaust testimony, the Visual History Archive has expanded to include testimonies from the Armenian Genocide that coincided with World War I, the 1937 Nanjing Massacre in China, the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, the Guatemalan Genocide of 1978-1996 and the Cambodian Genocide of 1975-1979. The interviews have been conducted in 62 countries and 41 languages. Each collection adds context for the others, providing multiple pathways to learn from the eyewitnesses of history across time, locations, cultures and sociopolitical circumstances
