Witness to War: The Soviet Jewish Experience 1941-1945 was a major traveling exhibit conceived of and created by the JHSGH. The project involved the interviewing and videotaping of numerous Russian-Americans of the World War II generation. The project resulted in two end products: the traveling exhibit and a volume of Connecticut Jewish History dedicated to the topic. This collection contains the original videotapes, transcripts in both Russian and English, and administrative files related to the project., undated
