The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has funded a collaborative project with the Survivors of the Shoah Foundation, Rice University, Yale University, and the University of Southern California, to integrate video testimonies of Holocaust survivors into the undergraduate curriculum. This briefing explores the technical and logistical challenges of the project to date, as well as the enhancements the technology has brought to the curriculum, and new course assignments and methods of research evidenced by the students.
