The Shoah outtakes comprise the Museum’s Claude Lanzmann Shoah Collection, one of the richest sources of Holocaust history. The Museum’s more than $1 million investment has preserved about 70 percent of Lanzmann’s 220 hours of picture and sound reels, which are now fully available for research and freely accessible on the Internet. The Museum is committed to improving access to these interviews, which have great significance for scholars, documentary producers, and the wider public.
