Documentation regarding the Holocaust from provincial archives in Switzerland, 1930-1950

The documentation is composed mainly of material received by Yad Vashem from the archives of cantons and Jewish communities in Switzerland. Documentation received from the Federal Archive of Switzerland and the State Archive of Lichtenstein is also included in the Record Group. There is also material from various institutions that dealt with Jewish refugees in Switzerland, personal files of thousands of Jewish refugees who escaped to Switzerland as well as the files of Jewish refugees who were deported from Switzerland across the border (especially in the area of Geneva).
