Let them Speak is the epigraph of a digital monograph and the name of a collaborative project which aims to document the experiences of Holocaust victims. It makes nearly three thousand oral history interviews with survivors from three US collections (Yale Fortunoff Archive, USC Shoah Foundation, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) available; it combines data visualization with text and data mining to render the victims’ experience. Readers can use the interactive visualization to browse the testimonies. They can also search the testimonies as a linguistic corpus. In a collection of essays that is part of the project, the principal investigator guides readers through his inquiry into the experience of the voiceless victim.
