Around 500,000 documents containing personal data
The Arolsen Archives are making around 500,000 documents from various German concentration camps available for the crowdsourcing project. They are part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World. They include a large number of prisoner registration cards and registration forms containing important data and biographical information such as prisoners’ places of birth. The documents can also contain the names of prisoners’ relatives; sometimes this is the last remaining trace of them before they were murdered; places of extermination such as Auschwitz-Birkenau or Majdanek are listed as the "places of residence" of prisoners’ parents or siblings.
