Updated JewishGen Holocaust Database
| Dear Friends,JewishGen.org is pleased to announce the completion of its most recent update to the JewishGen Holocaust Database. The database can be accessed directly at https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Holocaust/ The database now includes more than 2.75 million records from approximately 200 component databases.All component databases (individual data sets) have a project introduction. The introduction gives you further information about the historical background of the data, location of the original source document, fields used in the database, translation aides when applicable and acknowledgments to those that helped with data entry, validation and online preparation of the data set.A listing of each of the component databases can be found by scrolling down the main search page. All data can be searched in one database-wide search from the Holocaust Database home page.The database continues to grow, thanks in large part to partnerships with other organizations and receiving interesting original research by JewishGen users and academicians.
