Finding Aid

The materials are open for research. Use of these materials will require registration at Yale's Manuscripts and Archives. As is the case with other materials from the Fortunoff Video Archive, permission to view these materials is not the same a permission to publish or cite from these materials. Any citation of individual items from this collection must use the "cite as" field in the corresponding catalog record (see Associated Materials). Onlythe first letter of the survivor's surname is used to protect that person's anonymity. Original audiovisual materials, as well as preservation and duplicating masters, may not be played. Researchers must consult use copies, or if none exist must pay for a use copy, which is retained by the repository. Researchers wishing to obtain an additional copy for their personal use should consult Copying Services information on the Manuscripts and Archives web site. Copies of commercially produced audiovisual materials contained in this collection cannot be made for researcher use outside of the repository.

Copyright status for collection materials is unknown. Transmission or reproduction of materials protected by U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.) beyond that allowed by fair use requires the written permission of the copyright owners. Works not in the public domain cannot be commercially exploited without permission of the copyright owners. Responsibility for any use rests exclusively with the user.

Each survivor that contributed materials to this collection has a corresponding video testimony in the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. The testimonies are available through the Fortunoff Archive's Aviary site here: https://fortunoff.aviaryplatform.com/. Some of the recordings in the collection are only accessible while on the Yale University campus and are kept in a separate Aviary collection. Once on campus, those recordings can be accessed here.
