The Arolsen Archives have many millions of documents on the victims and survivors of National Socialism. These documents contain references to the fate of millions of people and sometimes are the last trace left of a person. We want it to be easy for people all over the world to find information about the fate of their relatives. This knowledge is enormously important for researchers, but even more so for families. Seventy-five years after the end of the Second World War and the liberation of the concentration camps, we want to transfer as many names as possible from paper to the internet! Go to https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/cseidenstuecker/every-name-counts/about/research for more information on this project.
To get started, register for an account on the main page of the project. After registering, click on one of the three possible options available. If you only have a few minutes, please choose "Dachau - supplementary workflow". The processing of the documents in "Brest Ghetto Passport Archive" and "Buchenwald - Reports" is the most time-consuming. These options are all available on the main project page. After selecting an option, you will go through a tutorial and begin on tasks.
