The mission of the Bay Area Holocaust Oral History Project (BAHOHP) is to gather oral life histories of Holocaust survivors, liberators, rescuers, and eyewitnesses. The project is developing and maintaining a catalogue database for public use. Their goal is to provide students,〔(Santa Clara University Press Releases - SCU Remembers the Holocaust )〕 scholars,〔 resource centers on the world, and the general public access to their archives.〔(Bay Area Holocaust Oral History Project )〕〔(USHMM Research )〕〔UK,http://www.bl.uk/collections/sound-archive/ohlinks.html〕 BAHOHP seeks to counteract Holocaust denial, and believes that the alarming upsurge of hate crimes and intolerance makes the need to record these stories all the more urgent. The Oral History Project regards recorded personal testimony as a powerful antidote for Holocaust denial.〔〔(S. Moniz: Holocaust Denial )〕 BAHOHP recently merged with the Holocaust Center of Northern California (HCNC) to form a single organization under the HCNC name. This new organization creates a central resource in Northern California for Holocaust education and remembrance.〔(Holocaust Center of Northern California )〕 == The collection == Lani Silver and R. Ruth Linden * founded the Holocaust Media Project, predecessor of the Bay Area Holocaust Oral History Project, in 1983. They co-directed the project until 1985. Silver was executive director from 1985 to 1997.〔(Old Dominion University News )〕 Since then, the project has been headed by Anne Grenn Saldinger.〔(BAHOHP: About us )〕 Today, the project has some 1700 audio and video recordings of survivors, witnesses and children of survivors. In addition, the collection contains close to a thousand transcripts and other materials.〔(BAHOHP: About us )〕 * Shapiro, Eleanor, "Interviewing Survivors Stirs Author's Identity Issues," Jewish Bulletin of Northern California, November 26, 1993; Linden, R.
