| Summary: | Every student of the Holocaust knows the crucial importance of survivors' testimonies in reconstructing the crime. Most such accounts, however, were recorded years or even decades after the end of World War II. There are exceptions, however. In 1946, Latvian-born American psychologist David P. Boder interviewed more than 100 victims of Nazi persecution—the majority of them Jews—in “Displaced Persons” camps across Europe. Eighty of the interviews were eventually transcribed into English, most included in his self-published manuscripts of more than 3,100 pages in sixteen volumes under the title Topical Autobiographies of Displaced Persons. |
