Sixty years ago, in the spring of 1945, Allied forces liberating Europe found evidence of atrocities committed by German troops. As the Allied forces entered the German concentration camps, they made a systematic film record of what they saw. Work began in the summer of 1945 on a documentary, but the film was left unfinished. This footage was found stored in a vault of London's Imperial War Museum and, in 1985, it was broadcast for the first time using the title the Imperial War Museum gave it, Memory of the Camps.

Voices of the Holocaust In 1946, Dr. David P. Boder, a psychology professor from Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology, travelled to Europe to record the stories of Holocaust survivors in their own words. Over a period of three months, he visited refugee camps in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, carrying a wire recorder and 200 spools of steel wire, upon which he was able to record over 90 hours of first-hand testimony. These recordings represent the earliest known oral histories of the Holocaust, which are available through this online archive.
