here are some follow up questions:
-Why do you think the work of the shoa foundation is important not just for the holocaust, but to help the overarching issue of genocide, hatred, and discrimination?
-What do you think are things that might be put in the guidelines for the interviewers and recorders of the interview? Why do you think these guidelines are important?

this is a very cool project. I especially liked how Act Three of the goal of the foundation is to turn survivors into educators because for me this answers the question of "so what?" As is often said in response to the study of history, questions arise as to why studying the past is important and why it matters now. I think that measures such as Act Three are the perfect answer to such a question. By educating current and future generations on past genocides, they can help humanity as a whole better understand the motives and consequences of genocide and how to prevent it, if possible, in the future. If it is true that "history repeats itself" then educating the current world on the themes/motives/consequences of genocide can hopefully help history from doing so. So for me, in response to the question of "so what?" the Shoa Foundation is important in that it can educate the future.
