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.
The center provides students, faculty and the community access to unique resources including:
• Content expertise and speakers on fields ranging from Holocaust and comparative genocide to immigration and international human rights.
• Displayed and interpreted original artifacts from the Holocaust and World War II.
• Teacher curriculum guides and classroom activities. (Available at the Archives and Special Collections at the Frederick E. Berry Library.)
• Two traveling exhibits: a photography exhibit by artist Richard Wiesel, !Evidence and Artifact: Documenting the Holocaust Through Images” (includes teaching and curriculum materials) and"“Immigration Stories: An Oral History of Russian-Speaking Jews in Massachusetts.”
• Over 2,000 books on the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, World War II, comparative genocide and post-genocide societies. (Available in a special collection at the Frederick E. Berry Library.)
• Catalogued document and photograph collections, first edition books and other primary sources. (Available at the Archives and Special Collections at the Frederick E. Berry Library.)
