Biographical / Historical
Dori Laub was born in Czernowitz, Romania, in 1937. A survivor of the Nazi Holocaust, Laub emigrated to Israel in 1950 where he attended medical school. Dr. Laub became a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, emigrated to the United States, and settled in New Haven, Connecticut, where he was an affiliate of Yale New Haven Hospital. Beginning in 1979, Dr. Laub collaborated with Laurel Vlock to videotape Holocaust survivor testimony, which led to the founding of the Holocaust Survivors Film Project and subsequently the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. Laub died on June 23, 2018, in Woodbridge, Connecticut.
