2011-05-02 A trove of papers and photographs documenting the lives of Holocaust victims and survivors is now in a searchable database kept by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee . The names include notables like Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel and former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, as well as "everyday" people. Jewish genealogist-- Linda Cantor, immediate past president of the JGS of New York was a volunteer who helped put the names online and found a previously unknown relative in the collection.

Jan Meisels Allen IAJGS Director-at-Large Chairperson, IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee |
