Step 2 / Receive Confirmation Email
After you submit the form, you will receive a confirmation email from AVIARY <noreply@aviaryplatform.com>. Check your spam if it doesn’t show up in your inbox. This is just to verify you are indeed a human and not a bot.
Before you confirm your registration, right click on the “Confirm my Account” and copy the link into a new browser. Then copy and paste https://ezproxy.lib.torontomu.ca/login?url= before the confirmation link and then hit the Enter button.
Step 3 / Search and Request Access to Testimonies
Return to https://ezproxy.lib.torontomu.ca/login?url=https://fortunoff.aviaryplatform.com/, login if necessary, and then enter a search term, such as a town name, a concentration camp, or a ghetto in the search bar at the top of the page. You can also click in the find content box and hit return. Click on a testimony in the search results and request access. Please note that our records truncate last names of those who gave testimony to protect their privacy. If you are looking for a specific person’s testimony, either shorten their last name to the first initial (“Eva B.”) or contact the archive directly. You only need to request access to one testimony to obtain viewing rights for the entire collection. You should receive an approval email a few minutes after you make your request.
Step 4 / View Requested Testimonies
Once you get the approval email, refresh your browser and you can view testimonies. Or use this link – Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies.
