Survivor Testimonies

The Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center has undertaken the task of making sure the personal testimonies of all of our local Survivors, Liberators, Resistors and Witnesses are documented. It is essential that we document the history of these lives so that they are not forgotten. Through generous grants from the Community Foundation of Collier County, the Jewish Federation of Collier County and the State of Florida, the Museum has been able to locate and begin recording the stories of more than 90 people living in Southwest Florida who in some way experienced the Holocaust first-hand.

If you or anyone you know is a Survivor, Liberator, Resistor, Rescuer or Witness to the Holocaust and would like to participate in this project, please contact the museum for more information.

If you would like to host a Survivor, Liberator, or Second Generation Survivor at your school or other venue, please contact us.
