Resources and Archives
We are continuing to expand and digitize our archival collections. In addition to program recordings and photographs from events held by the CHGS and the Holocaust Center Boston North (HCBN), personal papers and photographs from Holocaust survivor and HCBN co-founder Sonia Schreiber Weitz, and oral testimonies with genocide survivors, the continual expansion of our archival collections allows us to shed light on more previously untold stories.
