LOS ANGELES (AP) – Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation, a repository
of Holocaust testimonials, is becoming part of the University of
Southern California’s College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Spielberg, the foundation’s chairman and a USC trustee, said moving
the collection to USC will ensure its preservation and access to the
public.
“All of us know that the survivors and witnesses have given us a
precious gift whose wise use will build a better world for this and
future generations,” Spielberg said in a statement.
The repository’s 52,000 testimonials from survivors and witnesses will
be transferred Jan. 1 to USC indefinitely under an agreement announced
Friday between the university and the Survivors of the Shoah Visual
History Foundation.
