We are using our collections to create the world's largest Online Archive of documents on the victims and survivors of National Socialism – which will be a digital memorial to the people who were persecuted.

This is a huge task, so we need your help. Our archive contains around 30 million documents with references to the fates of 17.5 million people.

Many millions of names can already be easily searched, but not nearly all of them. This is why we launched the # everynamecounts crowdsourcing project. You can help us transcribe information from our historical documents, such as names and birth dates.

The Arolsen Archives are an international center on Nazi persecution with the world’s most extensive collection of documents on the victims and survivors of National Socialism. The collection is listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World register. It contains documents on the various victim groups targeted by the Nazi regime of terror and is an important source of knowledge for society today.
