Institute for Visual History and Education is expanding its visual
history archive to include testimony about genocides other than the
Holocaust, starting with a collection of 50 testimonies by survivors
of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, USC said on its website.
"We are not trying to compare human suffering," said Stephen Smith,
executive director of the institute. "What we're trying to do is
document each of these experiences with depth and dignity."
He added that the institute also plans to incorporate materials from
the Cambodian and Armenian Genocides in the near future.
