Gedenkbuch

The Gedenkbuch – Opfer der Verfolgung der Juden unter der nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft 1933–1945 ("Memorial Book – Victims of the Persecution of Jews under the National Socialist Tyranny in Germany 1933–1945") is a memorial book published by the German Federal Archives, listing persons murdered during the Holocaust as part of the Nazis' so-called "Final Solution". It is limited to people, regardless of nationality, who voluntarily lived within the borders of the German Reich as of December 31, 1937.[1] Since 2007, it has been available online. As of February 2020, it contained 176,475 names.[1] Alongside the Arolsen Archives and Yad Vashem's central database, it is considered an important resource for Holocaust research.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Since its publication, many cities and states have published their own memorial books, complementing and expanding on the Gedenkbuch.[8][9][7][10][11]

Durch die Möglichkeiten des Internets ließ sich die mühselige Datensuche großteils von zu Hause aus erledigen. Andererseits hätten kaum man noch Zeitzeugen befragen können. Wichtige Datenquellen waren das »International Center on Nazi Presecution« in Bad Arolsen, das Bundesarchiv Gedenkbuch über die Naziverfolgten (Koblenz) und die Datenbanken der Internationalen Holocaust Gedenkstätte Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. [Thanks to the possibilities of the Internet, the laborious data search could largely be done from home. On the other hand, it would hardly have been possible to interview contemporary witnesses. Important data sources were the "International Center on Nazi Presecution" in Bad Arolsen, the Bundesarchiv Gedenkbuch about those persecuted by the Nazis (Koblenz) and the databases of the International Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.]
