This collection consists of 154 oral history interviews conducted from 1992-1995 with residents of Orange County, California, who experienced the Holocaust. The interviews are the result of a project coordinated by Jack Pariser under the sponsorship of the Orange County Chapter of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.

In the early 1990s, Jack Pariser, a Polish survivor of the Holocaust who resides in Orange County, California, initiated a project to conduct oral history interviews with residents of Orange County who experienced the Holocaust. He received the organizational support of the Orange County chapter of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith (ADL) for the project. The ADL identified participants from the community, obtained and trained interviewers, conducted preliminary interviews with participants by phone, and solicited donations to help support the project. The ADL also supervised the videotaped interviews, which took place between April 1992 and April 1995, using recording services provided by Chapman University. The ADL wanted the tapes to be housed in an Orange County research facility and subsequently donated them to the UCI Libraries at the University of California, Irvine.
