How can a podcast encapsulate a generational turning point, reveal hidden histories, and make connections between Alfred Hitchcock and the Holocaust? When it is based on USC Shoah’s Foundation’s Visual History Archive of 55,000 audiovisual testimonies. With testimonies from over 60 countries and many experience groups including the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, the Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda, the possibilities for connections and intersections are many.

A live conversation with Finci-Viterbi Executive Director Stephen Smith and the Institute’s inaugural Storyteller in Residence, Rachael Cerrotti, co-hosts of the Institute’s new podcast The Memory Generation, launching 15 April 2021.
