Alexandra Zapruder |
|
| Alexandra Zapruder began her career as a member of the founding staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. A graduate of Smith College, she served as the researcher for the museum's exhibition for young visitors, Remember the Children: Daniel's Story, and went on to become Assistant Director of the Oral History Department, recording the testimonies of Holocaust survivors. She earned her Master's degree in Education at Harvard University in 1995 and returned to Washington in 1996 to work on the creation of a traveling version of Remember the Children. In 1992, Alexandra began researching diaries written by young people during the Holocaust. Ten years later, her work resulted in the publication of Salvaged Pages: Young Writers' Diaries of the Holocaust, which won the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category. She wrote and co-produced I'm Still Here, a documentary film for young audiences based on Salvaged Pages, which aired on MTV in May 2005. The film was awarded the Jewish Image Award for Best Television Special by the National Foundation for Jewish Culture. It was also nominated for two Emmy awards.

Peter Feigl |
|
| Peter Feigl is the only diarist of the fourteen listed in Alexandra's book still alive. His work One Man, Two Voices: Peter Feigl's Diary and Testimony Educational resource currently under development for the
USC Shoah Foundation Institute’s website. Designed as a presentation model for teachers to use
with their students, this collection of primary sources includes the pairing of
Peter’s wartime diary with his post-war video testimony as a Holocaust
survivor. Also included are previously unpublished letters, forms, and photos
to offer students a broader perspective and additional context for Peter’s
war-time experiences. The project seeks to engage students in historical
inquiry and to foster an enduring personal connection with wartime diarist and
Holocaust survivor, Peter Feigl. See Interview with Peter Feigl, USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual
