  Between 1994 and 2002, the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation (now called the USC Shoah Foundation) conducted and recorded nearly 52,000 interviews with Holocaust survivors and other witnesses from 56 countries. In addition to survivors of Nazi persecution, the Foundation interviewed liberators and liberation witnesses, rescuers and aid providers, political prisoners, and participants in war crimes trials. Interviews were conducted in the survivor’s preferred language, and over 32 languages are represented in the collection. Those providing testimony were asked to describe their lives before, during, and after the Holocaust, and in many cases shared pictures and artifacts related to their experiences.

  • [1997] Hate on the Net - A question of rights / A question of power
    In: EJS 3(1)
    Cyberhate messages promoted on the internet by organized political and religious hate groups incite hatred and promote harmful action against racial, ethnocultural, religious and same-sex oriented minorities. Kallen analyses racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic cyberhate messages. The thesis is that, by manipulating deeply held invalidation myths to provide "evidence" for their arguments, high tech hatemongers incite virulent hatred of and harmful action toward targeted minorities. By so doing, high tech hatemongering violates minority members' human rights to dignity and equality by denying their fundamental freedom from group defamation and harassment.
