Tablet Studios and The USC Shoah Foundation Join Forces to Launch Multimedia Collection of Testimonies from the October 7 Terrorist Attacks in Israel

"The massacre perpetrated by Hamas revealed the terrifying depths of their antisemitism and forced a reckoning for historians, practitioners, and governments," said Dr. Robert J. Williams, Finci-Viterbi Executive Director Chair of the USC Shoah Foundation. "Sadly, Hamas' hatred has echoed around the world; unleashing a surge in antisemitic rhetoric and violence which reminds us there is much to learn and work to be done. We must all recommit to addressing and countering antisemitism for today and future generations."

"We are honored to team up with the USC Shoah Foundation to ensure that these testimonies are collected with care and diligence," said Liel Leibovitz, Editorial Director, Tablet Studios, "and that they join the foundation's already vast collection of painful but seminal accounts in Jewish history."

Testimonies are being collected by a team of USC Shoah Foundation-trained interviewers in Israel and the United States and by Tablet Studios. They will be indexed and preserved in perpetuity within the USC Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive® (VHA), where they also will be available to the public.
