This presentation tackles upon one of the first oral history projects conducted after World Word II and investigates the documentation of survivors’ testimonies collected by the Polish Source Institute (Polski Instytut Źródłowy) in Lund. The aim is to shed light on the early Holocaust memory of the Jewish survivors which is a part of the larger, so-called Łakociński collection. The analysis is based on primary sources which is the PIŹ collection deposited today in the library of Lund Universityand the questions posed here are: What was the aim to collect the testimonies and who recorded this unique material? What experience was documented and what methods were used to collect the testimonies? What was different about the Jewish experience and the experience of the non-Jewish victims?
