| GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: | The Wisconsin Historical Society is both a state agency and a private membership organization. Founded in 1846, it is charged with collecting, advancing, and disseminating knowledge of Wisconsin and of the trans-Allegheny West. |
| | |
| OVERVIEW OF ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION: | A project entitled "Wisconsin survivors of the Holocaust interviews" was conducted between 1974-1975 and 1980-1981. It consists of 164 tape recordings; 136 photographs, 407 negatives, and 160 transparencies.
The tape-recorded interviews were conducted by Society staff members with Jewish survivors of the Nazi oppression who eventually settled in Wisconsin. The interviews discuss their pre-war circumstances, war-time experiences, post-war resettlement, and subsequent events in their lives. These experiences include deportation to labor and concentration camps, hiding "underground" in Holland and Germany, internment in Italy, slave-labor in Russia, escape to Shanghai, China, and other war-time events. Discussion of their post-war experiences concerns years in displaced persons camps, internment on Cyprus, temporary residences in Sweden, England, and Israel, and resettlement in the United States. Also included are two interviews with U.S. citizens who worked with displaced persons after the war.
Transcriptions or partial transcriptions of most of the interviews were created by the Historical Society’s Division of Public History. Abstracts are also available on microfiche which is included in the published guide. |
