List of Buchenwald Victims Now Online
Tuesday April 13, 2010
Just in time for the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, the Buchenwald Memorial Foundation created a website to list the confirmed victims of Buchenwald. The website, Die Toten, 1937-1945 ("The Dead, 1937-1945"), contains 38,000 names.
Although, the website is currently only in German, you can still easily find and read the names. In addition to each name, the Memorial has attached a separate page for each person that lists information such as the person's birth and death dates along with their birthplaces. If you are a relative of someone who died at Buchenwald or know someone who is a relative, please contact the the Buchenwald Memorial if you have any additional personal information that they could be added to the website.
The Holocaust Center for Humanity's mission is to inspire teaching and learning for humanity in the schools and communities of the Northwest through study of the Holocaust.
I was able to find my grandfather on that list. Thanks so much for posting - it's another tiny piece of the puzzle of preserving the record of his existence.
