sities will be able to tap into the
archives, said Sam Gustman, the foun-
dation's executive director of technology.
The material will not be available
over the Internet.
The interviews have already been
mined through other media by the
Shoah Foundation, which has pro-
duced three award-winning documen-
taries, including last year's Oscar-win-
ning The Last Days.
Released some months ago to high
schools is the interactive CD-ROM
Survivors: Testimonies of the Holocaust,
featuring the testimonies of two men
and two women. To heighten its appeal
to teenagers, Survivors is hosted by
movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio and
Winona Ryder.
At the dinner last month, largely
Latino teachers and students from Los
Angeles high schools testified to the
profound emotional impact of Survivors
on their lives and outlook.
Spielberg was equally taken by the
CD-ROM.
"We've proven a point I've been
trying to get Bill Gates to under-
stand," he said. "Technology and emo-
tion can go hand in hand."
Turning to the massive Shoah
archive, Spielberg expressed "our hope
that it will be a resource so enduring
that 50, or 100, or even 500 years
from now, people around the world
will learn directly from survivors and
witnesses about the atrocities of the
Holocaust — what it means to sur-
vive, and how our very humanity
depends upon the practice of tolerance
and mutual respect.
Spielberg foresees another educa-
tional benefit.
"We want to revise the social sci-
ences," he said. "You cannot just teach
the Holocaust without teaching about
black slavery, civil rights or the liquida-
tions of the Native American popula-
tion. Every intolerance you can imag-
ine has to be taught comprehensively
and has to be taught together." ❑
