A collection of paper forms, collateral materials and electronic data containing testimonial information about the experiences of Holocaust Survivors.
Notes:
The Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Holocaust Survivors at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is seeking the names of all Holocaust Survivors – whether or not currently living – in order to record their experiences for future generations, assist survivors and their families in attempts to trace missing relatives and friends, and provide reference to scholars of the Holocaust, genealogists and members of the public. Established in 1981 by the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors as a national registry to document the lives of survivors who came to the United States after World War II, the Registry now includes over 200,000 records related to survivors and their families from around the world.
