Bring your questions for the YouTube Q&A 12pm (Eastern USA time), Wednesday May 8th.
There is no single list of victims of Nazi persecution..... yet. The Holocaust Project is changing that. Like Wikitree's front page says, you can be a part of something big. No prior experience needed, just jump in.
The Holocaust Project invites you to help us add all victims at Auschwitz (Jews and non-Jews); our goal is to have all documented victims added by January 27, 2025. This is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. You can help by adding profiles from these sites; example searches are linked on the Auschwitz 2025 page: (use Wikitree Bee to easily Add Person/cite source for all but the last site listed)
*Joods Monument (the Dutch online memorial, in Dutch & English)
*Yad Vashem
*United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM - Auschwitz search)
*Memorial Book Victims of the Persecution of Jews under the National Socialist Tyranny in Germany 1933 - 1945
*Jewish Families in German Reich
*Memorial de la Shoah (In French. Cannot search by death location but has a wealth of information)
*any similar site of your choosing.
If you prefer working from spreadsheets, we have one on Google Sheets: Auschwitz Death Books/Sterbebücher. This document has about 65,000 people with birth/death dates, places of birth, and religion.
Please try to add at least one more source and family member. But it’s alright if you cannot- each profile is a planted seed that will grow a tree.
Please use the Auschwitz-Birkenau category, unless you are sure that the person died at Auschwitz I (aka main camp) or Auschwitz III (Monowitz)
It would be helpful if you mention on this post what surname or location you are focused on. Please add an "answer" instead of a "comment" - comments will be deleted after being read once, and I'll send you a PM to make sure your comment is addressed. (edit, added all comments into one "answer" on 10 May)
You do not need to join the Holocaust Project to participate, any WikiTreer is welcome.
Any general questions, ask here! And if you need a new category for a Holocaust-related location (a ghetto, subcamp, etc) post at this G2G link.
Sandy Patak & I will co-host a YouTube presentation on Wednesday May 8th, 12pm Eastern (USA) time to review what we’ve accomplished so far and answer any questions.
Thank you for participating in this important and historic endeavor.
