Records created by the District Commission in Lublin to Investigate the Nazi Crimes between 1944 to 1949. Later, in 1998, custody of the records was transferred to the newly established IPN. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the filmed collection via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in February 2010.
