David P. Boder
David Pablo Boder (9 November 1886 – 18 December 1961), born in Latvia, 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[1]. 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[2][3][4]. Transcriptions can be found at: http://voices.iit.edu/index.html
Boder studied psychology in Leipzig and St. Petersburg before teaching in Mexico and, finally, the United States[5][6].
