Trojan Talks Ep. 13: President Kim with Robert Williams

How can we preserve the lessons of the Holocaust for future generations—and apply them to the challenges we face today?

In this episode of Trojan Talks, USC President Beong-Soo Kim sits down with Robert Williams, CEO of the USC Shoah Foundation, to discuss the power of survivor testimony, the future of Holocaust education, and the fight against antisemitism and other forms of hatred.

Founded by Steven Spielberg in 1994, the USC Shoah Foundation is home to more than 63,000 testimonies from survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides. Williams shares how the Foundation is expanding global access to these firsthand accounts, advancing research and education, and developing new approaches to help future generations learn from history.

The conversation highlights USC’s role in preserving historical memory, fostering understanding, and addressing some of society’s most pressing challenges.
