The Shoah Foundation’s mission is to develop empathy, understanding, and respect through testimony. The Institute currently has more than 55,000 video testimonies, each one a unique source of insight and knowledge that offers powerful stories from history that demand to be explored and shared. The testimonies are preserved in the Visual History Archive, one of the largest digital collections of its kind in the world. They average a little over two hours each in length and were conducted in 65 countries and 43 languages. The vast majority of the testimonies contain a complete personal history of life before, during, and after the interviewee’s firsthand experience with genocide.

The purpose of the X-Ray Crystallography Facility is to structurally characterize single-crystal samples of organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds using X-ray diffraction. Equipment and services include: a Bruker APEX DUO single-crystal diffractometer equipped with an APEX2 CCD detector, Mo fine-focus and Cu micro-focus X-ray sources and a Rigaku Ultima IV powder/thin film diffractometer to conduct rapid structural analysis. It is capable of handling samples that are sensitive to air, moisture, and/or temperature and the core provides training for users to conduct their own experiments.
