Abstract
I would like to present a brief overview of the development of oral history as a separate discipline with emphasis on how Holocaust studies have influenced the approach to traumatic testimonies. My discussion will also explore the reliability of oral history and the deeper meaning inherent in memory. Finally, I will offer suggestions to the student preparing to interview a narrator who may describe traumatic events.
