New Haven Oral History Project

The NHOHP is coordinating student oral history projects for Professor Paul Bass’s undergraduate political science seminar on the history of New Haven since 1970.

NHOHP Director Andy Horowitz is again offering a course about oral history in the college seminar program.

The NHOHP is partnering with the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven to to promote revitalization in the Chatham Square neighborhood.

New Haven is home to the first Holocaust memorial built on public land in North America. The NHOHP is partnering with Greater New Haven Holocaust Memory, Inc. to interview the city officials, local Holocaust survivors, architects, and others who played central roles in developing the memorial, which observes its 30th anniversary this year.

The interviews will form a central part of an exhibit about the memorial that will open at the Jewish Community Center in Woodbridge, CT in April, 2007.
