History contains stories of people who have encountered life challenges in particular moments of human interaction. Testimonies are oral history given by those who have gone through the process, including the survivors, perpetrators, witnesses, or rescuers. Some of the listed testimonies were collected or recorded first hand by Canadian educators during the study tour, or when the survivors came to Canada.
