		Shoah, launched by Steven Spielberg in 1994 shortly after he finished filming Schindlerâs List, differs from many other corporate asset management efforts because digitization was a priority ãfrom the get-go,ä rather than an afterthought, said Sam Gustman, executive director of technology at the Shoah Foundation.
		If Shoah had stopped at simply getting the testimonials on video, when a request came in, ãsomeone at the museumä would have to go to a storage room, retrieve the appropriate videotape and try to queue it to the proper spot on the tape, Gustman noted.
		Shoah has spent an incredible amount of time trying to get the digitized information properly cataloged so interested parties can do keyword searches to find the video they request.
