The Tauber Holocaust Library welcomes volunteers to assist with summarizing oral history interviews. This process includes pulling out biographical information, highlighting keywords and search terms, and writing a narrative summary of the interview. This information provides access to the content of the interviews, is included in our archival databases and is a rich resource for scholars, students and researchers.

If you are interested in participating in this effort, and would like to watch and summarize an interview, please contact JessicaM@jfcs.org.
