Bundesarchiv (Germany)

Acquisition

Source of acquisition is the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) Berlin; Record Group DY 55 and DY 54. Extracted from these files, the names of victims were registered in a database. The names of 1,090 Jews, Communists, Social Democrats, and other opponents of the Nazi regime are listed in the finding aid. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection from the Bundesarchive via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in June 2009. The entire collection was digitized in 2013.

Scope and Content

Contains two main components: organizational records of the record group VVN, and materials it collected on Holocaust victims and survivors, forced laborers, war criminals, and prisoners of war. Included are reports about victims; original ID-cards (Kennkarten) of German Jews with photographs and personal information; card indexes related to camps and prisons; and two volumes of a card index entitled “Prison Card Index of Office 710” from 1935 to 1937. There are also lists of Jewish victims and material on the Gestapo in Breslau, camp personnel, the murder of people with mental disabilities, and Greek prisoners of war.
