Jewish Witness to a European Century
an interactive database of jewish memory

The first oral history project that combines old family pictures with the stories that go with them, Centropa has interviewed almost 1,300 elderly Jews living in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Sephardic communities of Greece, Turkey and the Balkans.

With a database of 25,000 digitized images, we are bringing Jewish history to life in ways never done before.

Centropa Films
