[Records-Access-Alerts] Holocaust Survivor Lists Digitized for the First time

The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has digitized names of Holocaust survivors relocated to displaced Persons Camps in Austria and Germany. Thanks to a collaboration of the Robert S. Cox Special Collections and University Archives Research Center in the UMass Amherst Libraries and Schoen Books of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, they are now available on the open web, enabling families of survivors, genealogists and researchers to have access to the vital information they contain.

 

Originally published in 1945 by the U.S.. Government as a way to help survivors, the Sharit Ha-Platah or “the surviving remnant,” reach family members around the world.

 

The five books were discovered in a library  by Ken Schoen of Schoen Books and purchased then for his publishing company.

 

The digitized searchable version may be accessed at: 

https://credo.library.umass.edu/view/full/murb000-schoen-dig-i001

It is in English and German.

Thank you to Dick Eastman and the Eastman Online Genealogyl Newsletter for informing us about this resource.
