Movie director Steven Spielberg began the Shoah Foundation archive in 1994 -- a year after completing "Schindler's List." The archive, which is housed at USC, includes the videotaped testimonies of nearly 52,000 Holocaust survivors -- Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses and others -- in 56 countries.
While the Shoah institute maintains the largest archive of its kind in the world, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., houses the largest registry of Holocaust survivors in the United States.
