The AfterWords project studies the stories of Holocaust Survivors, preserving their powerful testimonies to educate future generations about the atrocities of the Holocaust. It offers a rich resource for Holocaust educators and anyone who wishes to learn about this significant historical period. Our mission is to ensure that the voices of those who endured this dark chapter in history are never forgotten. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, we aim to create a lasting impact, fostering understanding, empathy, and a commitment to prevent such horrors from happening again.

By providing access to the experiences of Holocaust survivors, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for human resilience and the importance of standing against hatred and injustice. Join us in exploring these incredible stories and learning valuable lessons from the past, helping to build a world that values peace, tolerance, and the dignity of every individual.
