the 1990s, many of these books, or sections of them have been translated into English, digitized, and made available online. Testimonies and oral histories In the immediate post-war period, officials of the DP camps and organizations providing relief to the survivors conducted interviews with survivors primarily for the purposes of providing physical assistance and assisting with relocation. Interviews were also conducted for the purpose of gathering evidence about war crimes and for the historical record.

Some of the first projects to collect witness testimonies began in the DP camps, amongst the survivors themselves.
