Judiska minnen

The Jewish memories project ran from 1994-1998 at the Nordiska museet and resulted in a rich and comprehensive collection of Jewish life in the 20th century. An index with anonymized summaries of the memories is available in the research office. The transcribed memories are available for research but subject to the permission of the Archives Director. The collection consists of over 400 life stories and interviews on cassette tapes and videos, photographs and original documents. The documents include diaries and collections of letters; the approximately 1,600 photographs come from the participants' own family albums. Some of the material depicts Jewish life in various villages and cities in Europe, cultures that were completely wiped out during the Holocaust.
