David P. Boder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David P. Boder (9 November 1886 – 18 December 1961) was a professor of psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology when, in 1946, he traveled to Europe to record the experiences of Holocaust survivors. During that trip, he collected over a hundred interviews totaling 120 hours on a wire recorder developed by fellow professor, Dr. Marvin Camras. He was the first to record the experiences of the survivors and is a highly noted primary source reference. ^[1]
