Library and Collections<\/h2>\n

\"LibraryThe RCNJ CHGS maintains a growing collection of books and other materials pertinent to Holocaust and genocide studies. Our stacks are located on the second floor of the library, in front of the Special Collections Reading Room, which houses the Center. Additional books and media are available in the general stacks and are shelved according to their call numbers.<\/p>\n

CHGS also maintains a reference and archival collection, separate from the library system, which primarily includes materials donated by individuals and organizations. If you have materials that you are seeking to preserve or make available, please consult our\u00a0donation guide.<\/p>\n

Our Collection of Holocaust-Survivor Testimonies<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Three<\/a>

VHS copies of the testimonies we recorded<\/p><\/div>\n

The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey recorded 136 video testimonies with Holocaust survivors between 1990 and 2011. Most took place between 1990 and 1995. One survivor left two testimonies and two survivors share a single screen. Though the primary language of most of the videos is English, two survivors elected to tell their stories in Yiddish.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies<\/a>\u00a0at Yale University maintains our collection, which comprises a fraction of their nearly 4,700 testimonies. Thanks to the archive\u2019s generosity, Ramapo students, faculty, staff, and visitors have on-campus (and VPN) access to all of the Fortunoff testimonies via\u00a0Potter Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n
