USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive is home to 55,000 audio-visual records, testimonies of genocide survivors from around the world. Each testimony was made possible by a dedicated team: interview coordinators, videographers, and certainly not least the incredible interviewers whose empathy and expertise allow the stories of the past to shine through in the present.

USC Shoah Foundation interviewer Anne Bernard interviewed 102 survivors in 56 cities and towns, from 1995 to the present. This collection of testimonies will now comprise the first Named and Endowed Interviewer Collection in USC Shoah Foundation’s 25+ year history. In the Visual History Archive, The Anne Bernard Interviewer Collection will comprise more than 250 hours of survivor testimony.
