The Tibet Oral History Project aims to preserve the true history of the Tibetan people. At the request of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, we record the life experiences of Tibetan elders who were forced to flee their homeland following the Chinese invasion. His Holiness has emphasized the urgency of conducting interviews of these elders before they pass away and their stories are lost forever. The Tibet Oral History Project enables donors from around the world to contribute to keeping the invaluable history of Tibet alive for generations to come. We must not let their memories vanish!

Thanks for the video.. Its an excellent project to record the sufferings of our ancestors before they perish. I pray that the those Tibetans who have suffered under Chinese colonization may born in a free society and free of all suffering in there next life. And I pray for myself that I would be born as a Tibetan and close to Kundun in every life. United we stand and Divide we fall...... Get up Stand Up..Stand up for you Right. FREE TIBET.
i agree, thanks for this video on a very worthwhile project. bg24955, it'd be great if you knew someone who witnessed the scenes you describe or someone who heard of it when it happened. it's no comparison but one of the most beautiful gifts i ever received was a recorded interview of my parents which my brother and his wife did years ago. they prompted them on things about their youth, hopes, desires, perceptions of the world in which they lived. my father since died..to hear his voice again!
Id like to contribute to the project information regarding Tibetan freedom fighters incredible acts of bravery on the battlefield.
It is said that facing the entrenched Chinese machine gun position, Tibetan monks would form a charging wave of shock-troops formation armed only with big knifes and Buddhist statues believed to be magical. Such incredible deeds should go down into the annual of military history, like the famous polish Calvary Brigade recorded by Heinz Guderian.
