In March of 2007, a team of Appalachian State University professors traveled to Milan, Italy to film interviews with 13 Holocaust survivors in their homes. Each person reflected not only on what they went through and how they escaped, but also how it affected their families and their country, and how it shaped their lives as adults. The dangerous and horrific events of the Holocaust took place when these survivors were young, so the experiences they endured had particular significance.
Though shaped by similar historical forces, each survivor has a unique story with its own unexpected outcomes. This exhibit features black and white portraits, audio clips and video footage pulled from the interviews.
