History
Great humanities projects about history.



January 25, 2012 - Andrew J. Viterbi speaks at the Holocaust Living History Workshop. Viterbi was born in the Italian town of Bergamo in 1935. When life became more and more difficult for Jews in Mussolini’s Italy, his family decided to emigrate to the United States. Starting out as a virtually penniless refugee who could hardly speak English, Viterbi later rose to prominence as an electrical engineer, the inventor of the Viterbi algorithm, and the co-founder of Qualcomm.

March 7, 2012 - After graduating from the Missouri School of Journalism, Ehrenfreund joined the US army and took part in the Allied reconquest of Western Europe under General Patton. After the war, he covered the Nuremberg war crimes trials as a reporter for the army newspaper Stars and Stripes. His experience in Nuremberg later resulted in the successful book The Nuremberg Legacy, written from the perspective of the eyewitness to history and of the Superior Court judge.

The Holocaust Living History Workshop at University of California, San Diego, connects students with local survivors of the Holocaust to train the community in using the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive--a database of 52,000 Holocaust survivor testimonies founded by film maker Steven Spielberg--to experience the history told in the Archive.
