CENTROPA - Combining Jewish family stories with the pictures and movies that go with them
CENTROPA bills itself as "[t]he first oral history project that combines old family pictures with the stories that go with them, Centropa has interviewed more than 1,350 elderly Jews living in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Sephardic communities of Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. With a database of 25,000 digitized images, [they] are bringing Jewish history to life in ways never done before. (comprehensive information on the project can also be found in Speelbound Blog - Preserving Jewish Memory: Family Photos Join Oral History in Centropa Movies)
Centropa also includes a film database called THE LIBRARY OF RESCUED MEMORIES - "[a]n ever-expanding library of short biographical films, each based on our interviews and family pictures". At the moment twenty stories can be viewed online.
