Since 2005, StoryCorps and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum have worked to record at least one story to honor each life lost in the attacks on September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993.
To date, StoryCorps has recorded and archived 1,193 September 11 stories, representing 583 individual victims. It has released three September 11 animated shorts:
"Always a Family"
On the morning of September 11, Michael Trinidad called his ex-wife, Monique Ferrer, from the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower to say goodbye. In the wake of his death, Monique tells the story of Michael's lasting legacy -- the family they built together.
