The Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, a part of the
Manuscripts and Archives department of Sterling Memorial Library, contains
over 4,200 interviews with witnesses and survivors. The personal papers of
Yiddish writer Sholem Asch also contain relevant material, as Asch’s concern for
the Jews of Europe before and after the Second World War is a constant subject in
his writings and correspondence (see also the Paul Novick papers relating to
Sholem Asch.)
