Due to pandemic restrictions, survivors and educational groups couldn’t visit the sites of Nazi atrocities as they have in years past.

As the library announced (https://wienerholocaustlibrary.org/2021/01/14/testifying-to-the-truth-new-digital-resource-launching-january-2021/) earlier this month, hundreds of its survivor testimonies are now available online—and in English—for the first time.
