Learn how to navigate and piece together the records available from a myriad of sources including Yad Vashem, the JDC, the Arolsen Archives, USHMM, and smaller, regional repositories. We will also look at databases that include records related to concentration camps, and ongoing efforts to document victims in towns and cities.
