The University of South California Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education is expanding its visual history archive to include testimony about genocides other than the Holocaust, starting with a collection of 50 testimonies by survivors of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, USC said on its website.
"We are not trying to compare human suffering," said Stephen Smith, executive director of the institute. "What we're trying to do is document each of these experiences with depth and dignity."
He added that the institute also plans to incorporate materials from the Cambodian and Armenian Genocides in the near future.
