National Archives Holocaust Collection Available Online for the First Time via Footnote.com

For the time ever, millions of the National Archives’ Holocaust-related records will be available online. The National Archives and Records Administration and Footnote.com today announced the release of the Internet’s largest Interactive Holocaust Collection available at footnote.com/holocaust. The National Archive decided to team up with Footnote.com to make these records more widely accessible and “help people now and in the future learn more about the events and impact of the Holocaust,” according to a press release. The records available though Footnote.com include: Concentration camp registers and documents from Dachau, Mauthausen, Auschwitz, and Flossenburg; the “Ardelia Hall Collection” of records relating to the Nazi looting of Jewish possessions; captured German concentration camp records; and Nuremberg War Crimes Trial proceedings. You can access these records for free through the month of October. Afterward, you’ll have to pay for a subscription to view the images of Holocaust documents, but the indexed information from the documents will always be free, as will the Footnote pages created for victims and survivors of the Holocaust.
