The Witness Project is based at the University of Sheffield’s Department of History. Witness was set up in 2011 by two of the department’s historians, Charles West and Andrew Heath, to collect and preserve Sheffield’s past through the medium of oral history.

Between 2016 - 2017 the project interviewed 18 members of Sheffield's Jewish Community
