Names Not Numbers captures MTA

Seniors in MTA’s Names Not Numbers Holocaust Documentary elective were joined by Jeff Salgo, a retired CBS News producer, who shared best practices in interviewing.

Salgo introduced the mnemonic HRE: History, Research, and Empathy, explaining that an interviewer must understand the background of the person they are interviewing (History), come prepared and well-informed (Research), and create a respectful, sensitive space for the interviewee to share difficult memories (Empathy).

The 22 seniors participating in Names Not Numbers will continue their work and look forward to welcoming their Survivors to MTA.
