We haven't been able to get a good time in, since I know we'll need a bit to get most of it. I'd like to do it all in one sitting. I hope to get to it soon. Truthfully, I didn’t get to it yet.

Long story short - Grandmother (polish) used for forced labour during world war 2 (she was forced from her home and then the Nazi's burnt it down)- after the war she never spoke about her past. One of her brothers is still alive in Poland, and i'm trying to organize a video recording of him answering all the questions i have as i know very little. He says he has a weath of information - this video recording will be invaluable and far excedes any other type of information gathering from him. Brain, how did your recording go?

I'm not sure if it's still going on but they were allowing people to record oral histories there. Anyways, this site (although targeted for veterans) has some tips for generating oral histories. I've also found it helpful to bring out a photo album. http://www.wisconsinstories.org/activities/toolkit/?action=tips I’ve heard about a project going on at the Milwaukee Public Library.
