Data on Holocaust Victims Made Available to Public

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has begun helping Holocaust survivors, their family members and researchers gain access to a huge trove of Nazi-era records detailing the fates of millions of victims.

Museum officials last week announced they were making available via online request digital copies of the records, which include Nazi-generated documents on concentration camp rosters, slave labor camps, transport manifests, ghetto inhabitants, and arrest records. They also include allied documents on victims housed at displaced persons camps after the end of World War II in 1945.
