August 26 | 10,000 MEMORIES: A lived history of Partition & WWII (Seattle)

The 1947 Partition Archive gives voice to those who witnessed the Partition of South Asia in 1947, an event that is as significant as the Holocaust in Europe and the World Wars, but has attracted little documentation thus far.  So far, over 600 volunteers have helped preserve over 8000 stories on digital video.  There is a great urgency for us to carry out the work as fast as possible since those who remember Partition are now in their 80’s, 90’s and beyond.
