Between 2000 and 2009, Centropa, a non-profit, Jewish historical institute dedicated to preserving twentieth century Jewish family stories and photos from Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans, interviewed 1,230 elderly Jews still living in 15 European countries between the Baltic and the Bosporus (from Estonia and Russia to Greece and Turkey) in the context of their project, "Jewish Witness to a European Century." From the material of the project, Centropa created "The Library of Rescued Memories," which comprises of both a photo database with 25,000+ digitized family photographs and a searchable database of 45,000 pages of audio recorded, transcribed, and translated interviews. While most interviews are in English, there is a separate search function for interviews in German and Hungarian.
