Millions of Holocaust Records Available to All Online
(Fox News) Christopher Carbone - Family history company Ancestry, in partnership with the Arolsen Archives' International Center on Nazi Persecution in Germany, announced Wednesday it has digitized millions of Holocaust records to make them searchable online at no cost for the first time. The collection includes passenger lists of displaced persons leaving Germany and other European countries from 1946 through 1971, which encompasses 1.7 million records and 300,000 images. In addition, it includes a registration of those living in Germany and German-occupied territories with non-German citizenship, people who were stateless and also German Jews, which encompasses 9.97 million records and 900,000 images. Howard Hochhauser, CEO at Ancestry, noted, "I was able to unlock a story about my own grandmother's experiences as a Holocaust survivor in Germany."
