Laub Fellowship
Together with Laurel Vlock, Dr. Laub began videotaping Holocaust survivors in his office in May 1979 as part of what would become the Holocaust Survivors Film Project (HSFP). Dr. Laub participated in 134 testimony taping sessions for the HSFP and the Fortunoff Archive as well as for other independent projects. He trained interviewers for affiliated projects in the U.S. Israel, Canada, and Europe, and it was his unique perspective as a survivor and clinical psychiatrist shaped the Fortunoff Archive’s distinctive methodology. Laub's work was groundbreaking and critical to the Fortunoff Archive’s growth and success.
