13 episodes that will take you on a journey through the 20th century.
With stories read by some of Britain’s finest character actors, you will hear excerpts from Sholem Aleichem, as well as personal stories of those who grew up in shtetls, fled from the Germans in 1941, and even fought them at Stalingrad. Then you’ll listen to stories of what it was like to start life over in the postwar decades.
No sooner had Vladimir Putin launched his insane invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, than thousands of visitors to Centropa.org began exploring our Ukrainian database of interviews. That is when we decided to bring to life just a few of the 278 interviews we conducted there between 2001 and 2007.
We have 13 episodes in this podcast season, and you can hear some of Britain’s finest character actors reading stories about growing up in shtetls, running from the Germans, fighting them at Stalingrad, and starting life over afterwards.
You can also hear excerpts from Sholem Aleichem, Katja Petrowskaja, and Vasily Grossman.
The entire season will soon be available in Ukrainian.
Our Ukrainian interviews were conducted under the guidance of Professor Leonid Finberg, coordinated by Marina Karelstein, and were underwritten by the Claims Conference and the Jack Buncher Foundation.

Few Jews live in Dorcol today but this quiet corner of Belgrade still evokes its past, when Jewish shops stood cheek by jowl and families scurried off on Friday evenings to the synagogue. Ida Labudovic interviewed Vera Amar and Avram Mosic for us in 2002, and both describe what Dorcol was like in its last years. Jilly Bond, who reads Vera Amar, is a regular performer on BBC’s The Archers and has read more than 40 audiobooks. David Horovitch. With 100 screen credits to his name, David Horovitch has performed Shakespeare on stage and in film, was recently seen in Mike Leigh’s Mr Turner, and is currently starring in the HBO Max series House of the Dragons. Additional reading of Ernst Pavel’s memoir by Mikael Gemeda-Breka of Carnegie Mellon University. Special thanks to Jaehee Cho of the Entertainment Technology Center of CMU and Tijana Zherajikj of Centropa.
In this video we wanted show the impact the Jewish Theatre of Bucharest has had on local culture throughout history, how it has evolved, and the connection it has with our school.
Az óra középpontjában a magyarországi zsidóság története áll a 20. század első felében. A cél a zsidóság történetének áttekintése az egyéni életutakon keresztül, ezzel is hozzájárulva a diákok érzékenyítéséhez a 20. század kataklizmái és a kisebbségi sors nehézségei iránt. A diákok megismerik a magyar zsidóság 20. századi történetének néhány sarokpontját: az asszimiláció folyamatát és a holokauszt borzalmait. A zsidó temetők meglátogatása során megismerkednek a zsidó temetési szokásokkal és szimbólumokkal.
A zsidó vallással kapcsolatos ismeretek bővítése a Löfflerová-interjú felhasználásával.
A világvallások. A monoteista vallások tantervi elemhez kapcsolódó csoportfeladatok.
A zsidó vallás fogalmainak ismerete, kapcsolódása a történelmi tanulmányokhoz.
A szociális, kommunikációs, kooperatív készségek fejlesztésére alkalmas.
A zsidóság helyzete Magyarországon a második világháború után című feladat a holokausztot túlélt zsidó lakosság visszailleszkedésének nehézségeit mutatatja be szöveges források segítségével.
Feladatlap formátumban a tanulók egyénileg dolgozhatják fel a témát a szemelvényekhez kapcsolt elemző kérdések segítségével.
Centropa was founded in Vienna and Budapest in 2000 with the goal of preserving Jewish memory in Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Baltics, and the former Soviet Union, then disseminating our findings to the widest possible audience.
We were not founded to be a Holocaust interview project. Our goal was to seek out over a thousand elderly Jews still living between the Baltic and the Aegean so we could ask them to tell us stories about the entire 20th century, just as they lived it.
We never used video in those interviews. Instead, we digitized over 25,000 privately-held family photographs and personal documents all while we recorded their stories—45,000 pages of them.
The Centropa interviews were conducted between 2000 and 2009.
Starting in 2005, we began creating thematic websites, multimedia films, traveling exhibitions, educational programs, and illustrated books, all based on our archive. In more recent years, we have been producing documentary films, walking tour apps, and podcasts.
Our main office and creative hub is in Vienna. Our educational teams work in Centropa offices in Budapest, Hamburg and Washington DC.
Each of our offices is a separate legal entity: Centropa (or The Central Europe Center for Research and Documentation) is registered as a 501c3 in the United States. We are registered as an "alapítvány" in Hungary and as a "Verein" in both Austria and Germany.
You can view our legal documents, tax filings and recent annual reports for all Centropa organisations here:
Between 2000 and 2009, Centropa interviewed 1,230 elderly Jews still living in the 15 countries between the Baltic and the Aegean.
When Centropa’s website first went live in 2002, the first people to write to us were teachers who asked what sort of educational programs we were offering.
Our social club for the Holocaust survivors we interviewed.
In 2020, we started sending books to our seniors from independent, Jewish-owned bookshops in Prague, Vienna and Budapest.
Since Centopa’s interviewing teams spent a decade collecting pictures and stories, it was only logical to create thematic exhibitions based on these stories.
Our first book was published in partnership with the Romanian city of Sibiu in 2007 in honor of the city named the European Capital of Culture.

Centropa teams area working out of Vienna, Hamburg, Budapest, and the US.
As a non-profit organisation, we rely on our donors and supporters.
Centropa works with local partner organisations worldwide.
Between 2000 and 2009, Centropa conducted 1,200 interviews in 15 European countries. We never used video in those interviews; we did not focus solely on the Holocaust. Instead, we digitized 22,000 family pictures and we asked each of our respondents to tell us stories about those pictures.
We then took the most compelling stories and began turning them into short films. All the words you’ll hear in these films were taken directly from our interviews and we used some of the best actors in each country to narrate the stories.
We have also produced a series of short documentaries that explain the complexities of Central Europe, such as: how did Hungarian Jews fit into society, how did Bulgarian Jews escape deportation during the Second World War, and how did Europe’s maps change over the last 200 years. We add at least two films each year, and if you have any comments on our films, please send a note to office [at] centropa.org (office[at]centropa[dot]org).
Centropa's website is available in English, German and Hungarian. As we work in many countries across the world, we also have content in over 15 other languages.
