Containing thousands of genocide-related concepts and experiences, the USC Shoah Foundation Thesaurus is one of the first of its kind. It lists the indexing terms used to describe the video testimonies and arranges them hierarchically under broad headings. These terms have been assigned directly to digital time codes within testimonies where the specific topics are discussed, in much the same way that book index entries specify the page numbers where topics are covered.
The Thesaurus evolved over time and grew in volume as the testimonies were indexed. While some indexing terms have been drawn from existing controlled vocabularies, the depth of content within the collection required the creation of local indexing terms to facilitate access at a more precise level. For example, experiential terms such as "corpse disposal forced labor" and "intergenerational Holocaust impact" were created to reflect the depth and unfortunate commonality of experience brought forth in testimonies of survivors of the Holocaust. Indexing terms also include cities, villages, and other geographical locations--"Oswiecim (Poland)," for example--as well as place names such as "Auschwitz II-Birkenau (Poland : Concentration Camp)." The structure of the USC Shoah Foundation Thesaurus is based on the ANSI/NISO Z39.19 Guidelines for the Construction, Format, and Management of Monolingual Thesauri, which employs a hierarchical arrangement to define the relationships between indexing terms. Although the indexing of the testimonies is virtually complete, the Thesaurus remains a work in progress and will continue to be refined and updated as needed.
Because the Thesaurus currently contains more than 50,000 indexing terms, most of which are geographic in nature, we have abridged this document to make it more manageable in size--excluding the geographic indexing terms, the definitions and scope notes, as well as synonyms and quasisynonyms assigned as equivalent but non-preferred terms.
Please note 1) Unverified indexing terms, indicating that the place or organization could not be verified in the authoritative reference sources used at the time that the keyword was created, are preceded by (u); 2) "Generic" indexing terms, created when there is more than one location with the same name, are followed by (generic); 3) Some terms that are not indexing terms are included as place holders in the hierarchical structure to facilitate the organization of the controlled vocabulary; 4) Specific indexing terms included under a more general topic are indented to demonstrate their relationship to the broader term; 5) To save space in this document, [...] indicates omitted indexing terms; 6) Indexing terms may be listed under more than one broader topic when appropriate.
