So far things have well. At my internship, I've shifted focus from oral history interviews from pioneering Tucson Jews to Holocaust history. It's been very interesting. There is a Holocaust History Center next to the Museum that features of a wall of survivor's pictures, along with a little information. I write down this information, and then put it through various archives and websites to learn more.
I do my research on websites such as the USC Shoah Foundation video archives, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website, the International Tracing Service website, the Fortunoff archives, the National Archives website, and the Library of Congress website.

Hello!
My name is Isamu Nevins, a High School Senior from BASIS Tucson North working on a Senior Research Project. My project concerns what it means to be Jewish, and what it means to be a Jewish family living in America. My father was Jewish, but growing up, my own Jewishness was always called into question, sometimes by myself. I want learn more about the Jewish identity in general as well as my own Jewish identity.
I would like to give a huge thank you to the Jewish History Museum and its staff for giving this internship opportunity. I started my internship on Wednesday and have already learned a lot. I'm currently working on an oral history project concerning the first Jews in Tucson.
I've learned a lot about the history of Tucson. One thing I never knew about Tucson, or perhaps the Southwest in general, was that it was considered the best place to send those with asthma or other lung-related illnesses before better treatments were discovered and invented.
