Lawrence Langer conducted approximately 85% of the Brookline Holocaust Witness Project interviews from 1990-1996 and supervised all of them. A key factor behind the extraordinary quality of the Brookline intervews can be attributed to Langer’s contributions to the project. Soul Witness director/producer R. Harvey Bravman on Langer, “Lawrence Langer conducted the most responsible interviews I’ve ever seen; the witnesses were comfortable with him because of his compassion and his knowledge of the subject matter.”
