The USC Shoah Foundation was founded by Steven Spielberg after the completion of the movie, Schindler’s List. The organization’s initial focus was to gather video testimony from Holocaust survivors. Hopscotch’s co-founder and board member, Brenda Smith, was a part of the launch, interviewed approximately 100 survivors over a few years. Brenda shared. “ it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life”. The organization has since expanded the focus to include testimonies from survivors of genocide from across the globe, including Rwanda, Guatemala, Armenia, etc. The link is to a piece about an Armenian man, survivor of the Armenian genocide. I’m so glad all of these testimonies and histories are being curated for our future generations.
