| Title: | UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation: Testimonies Project |
| Description: |
This series contains the transcripts and the testimonies of 112 audio-visual interviews recorded by the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation (UKHMF). The interviews cover a wide range of experiences linked to Nazi antisemitic persecution and the Holocaust, and include the perspectives of camp survivors, children in hiding, refugees who escaped to the United Kingdom and Kindertransport children. Many of these testimonies were recorded for the first time. The series also includes the testimony of a survivor of the Roma genocide, as well as those of eight British soldiers and medical staff who were involved in the liberation and relief of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. If you would like to re-use the footage or transcripts, please visit the UKHMF testimonies licence webpage for details on how to apply for a licence. Some interviewees have permitted the use of their testimonies for specific purposes and details are provided in the Restrictions on Use information for those records. |
