An amazing collection of millions of documents was recently uploaded to the Internet, containing information about Holocaust victims who were persecuted by the Nazi regime.
The International Tracing Service in Germany has uploaded more than 13 million documents from Nazi concentration camps, including prisoner certificates and death notices, to the Internet in order to help Holocaust researchers and family members investigate the fate of victims.

The archive was established by the Allies in the last days of World War II. Initially, the archive was managed by the Red Cross. The archive has now been renamed the "Arolsen Archive - International Center on Nazi Persecution".
The documents contain information on more than 2.2 million people, and the archives continue to improve search capabilities.
Among the documents in the archive is also a certificate from the previous Satmar Rebbe, author of "Habrach Moshe," Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum zt"l.
This is the document of departure from the Buchenwald camp. The Rebbe was recorded without a beard or sideburns, like the rest of the prisoners in the camp.
Florian Azoulay, the director of the archive, said: "It is so important that the original documents can be with future generations of victims.".
