Client (pro-bono): Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation
Challenge: To overcome prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry - and the suffering they cause - make available to future generations a record of what happens when atrocities are committed in the name of racism.
Solution: Record the testimony of survivors of the holocaust.
Result: Under the direction of Steven Spielberg, the Shoah Foundation has collected the permanent testimony of over 52,000 survivors, liberators, rescuers, war crimes trial participants. Over 120,000 hours of video testimony now comprise the largest digital imaging database in the world. Each personal story of the survivors and witnesses is available to all worldwide with the hopes that it will put an end to bigotry, hatred and racism. The Shoah Foundation incorporates the testimonies into classroom tools in over 32 languages worldwide to help educators and students better understand the cause of genocide so that it will never again be repeated.
