The Price Library of Judaica, in partnership with the Center for Jewish Studies, is providing UF patrons with unique access to the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive. The Visual History Archive contains 55,561 video testimonies and witness accounts of the Holocaust and other genocides, as well as other examples of crimes against humanity and related persecutions. The testimonies were recorded in 65 countries and in 44 languages. The Archive is fully searchable thanks to its extensive indexing of geographical locations, time periods, location names, experience groups, and 1.99 million personal names.

Inspired by the Jews and the Americas conference at the University of Florida, February 26-29, 2019, this newly published volume features a range of case studies by scholars from the United States, Brazil, Europe, and Israel that explore the culturally, religiously, and politically diverse lives of Jewish minorities in the Western Hemisphere.
