About Centropa’s Trans.History Audiowalks
About Centropa
Centropa is a Jewish historical institute based in Vienna, Hamburg, Budapest, and Washington, DC. Between 2000 and 2009, we interviewed 1,200 elderly Jews in 15 European countries. But we were interested in much more than how their families perished during the Holocaust. Our teams digitized 22,000 of their old photographs and asked them to share with us their life stories—from their grandparents to their great-grandchildren.
The Audiowalks look at the 20th century through 21 Centropa interviews in Ukraine and Moldova.
