Ello for Memory

Every story, preserved.

Gentle, multi-session interviews with Holocaust survivors and witnesses, organized into a searchable archive of their lives.

What it does.

Ello speaks with each witness in their own language, at their own pace, over as many sessions as they wish. It never rushes, never repeats a question, and returns to the threads left open.

  • Complete testimonies, gathered across many sessions
  • An archive organized by people, places, dates and chapters
  • Recordings and transcripts preserved for the institution

Designed with care for painful memories. Every program is supervised by the institution’s own team.

    The archive

    Every session is transcribed and indexed by people, places, dates and chapters.

What Ello talks about.

Natural conversations that come back to what matters for this program, never a questionnaire read aloud.
