My parents felt comfortable with you and shared details that might have been lost forever had you not been such an experienced and professional interviewer.

Edith Editor, Wisconsin

So many gave time and thought to our oral history project, but the key to its success is the work of Anita Hecht, the oral historian who conducted all the interviews. I found she was totally qualified to handle the broad range of topics pursued and the broad variety of people interviewed.

Ellen Proxmire US Senator William Proxmire Oral History Project of the Wisconsin Historical Society

I wanted you to know how meaningful the making of the oral history was for me. You are just a pro.

Fae Grandmother, California

We were very, very pleased with the results [of the oral history project]—the rapport you established with each of the various members, of different ages and attitudes, and the business like manner in which the job was done.

Don Green Chair of the Edith S. Green Oral History Project, Temple Emanu-El, California

All we can say is that we were overwhelmed! The videos and print biographies were beautifully done, the music was most appropriate and, according to our three children, we looked great!  Seeing ourselves on the video and sharing many experiences that we had never shared with our children was beautiful. We wouldn’t want to change anything.

Katy & Shawki Ibrahim Educator & Engineer, Parents & Grandparents, Indiana

You conduct the interviews with insight, being inquisitive enough to make it interesting and yet with the discretion to make the person feel comfortable

Ariel Cojuc Grandmother, Mexico

My siblings and I used your services 16 years ago to record my parents’ life histories as a gift for their 60th anniversary; however, I have found, particularly in the 4 years since my mother’s death that having this recorded hour with her where she blossoms back to life has been a treasure that I value more than words could adequately express.  As a ritual that I now hold sacred, I watch the video twice a year.

Margot Keen

The preliminary meeting also made me more comfortable so that at the interview itself, I could relax, ignore the camera and just have a pleasant chat, reminiscing with you.

Melvin Retired Businessman, California

Your expertise not only in the interviewing part, but in lighting, positioning, was impressive. I felt like a film star being directed by an expert director.

Golda Philanthropist, California

It’s been a wonderful experience. One great advantage of an oral history conducted by a pro, like yourself, is you think at the time you know everything you’re going to say and remember. And then in the context of a focused, professional interview, a light goes on and you remember things that had been buried. We’re talking about the obvious, and suddenly, buried, hidden under the obvious, is new stuff. It’s wonderful!”

Kenneth Roy Feinberg Attorney, Special Master, 911 Victim Compensation Fund
