"The Holocaust Memorial
Center honors as Survivors any
persons, Jewish or non-Jewish,
who were displaced, persecuted, or
discriminated against due to the
racial, religious, ethnic, social, and
political policies of the Nazis and
their collaborators between 1933
and 1945. This definition in-
cludes, among others, people who
were refugees or were in hiding."
If you or a member of your
family could be defined as a
Survivor, we invite you to arrange
an appointment for a videotaping.
There is no charge and appoint-
ments are arranged at mum-
ally convenient times and dates.
Trained interviewers will make the
process as comfortable as possible
and each person interviewed will
receive a complimentary copy of
the video. We urge our members
and readers to encourage those
