Warren Commission (08 of 26): Hearings Vol. VIII (of 15)

This volume captures a day of testimony before the President’s Commission charged with uncovering the facts surrounding President Kennedy’s assassination. Listeners hear a varied cast of witnesses—from childhood acquaintances of Lee Harvey Oswald to former Marine colleagues and relatives—each recalling personal encounters and details that shaped their view of the events. The proceedings are recorded verbatim, preserving the formal questioning by the commission’s counsel and the witnesses’ often candid recollections.

The hearings were conducted in the early 1960s at the Old Civil Courts Building in New Orleans, providing a snapshot of the investigative atmosphere of the era. By presenting each witness’s account in full, the audio offers an unfiltered window into the government's effort to piece together a complex narrative. Listeners gain a sense of the methodical, legalistic process that defined this historic inquiry, all while hearing the human voices behind the names that have long populated the Kennedy‑related archives.
