Dimensions in Testimony from the USC Shoah Foundation is an interactive collection of biographies that allows museum visitors to engage in conversations with pre-recorded video interviews of Holocaust Survivors and other witnesses to genocide.
At VHM, the exhibit features four Holocaust survivors and one U.S. Liberator, offering visitors the opportunity to ask questions and hear firsthand accounts of life before the war, hiding, experiences in concentration camps, life after the war, forgiveness, family, and more.
Throughout March, we are featuring Pinchas Gutter, a Survivor of six Nazi concentration camps.
Born in Łódz, Poland, Pinchas was just eight years old when war broke out. After spending two-and-a-half years confined in the Warsaw Ghetto, he and his family were deported to Majdanek death camp in 1943, where his parents and twin sister were murdered.
Pinchas survived Skarzysko-Kamienna, Czestochowa, Buchenwald, Colditz, and Theresienstadt, where he was finally liberated by the Soviet Army in 1945.
His journey took him from an orphanage in England to Paris, Israel, Brazil, South Africa, and eventually Toronto, Canada, where he still resides today. An active community member and cantor, Pinchas continues to share his story to educate future generations.
Showings run hourly from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Reserve your seat at the front desk.
