Records may also include the place of the last residence, citizenship, the age at the time of documentation, the camp from which the survivor was liberated, contacts requested, and any additional comments.

Visit <a href="https://jewishgen.org/welcome-myheritage/" target="blank">JewishGen</a> for more information and to search its database. The WJC was founded out of the need for a representative body to support Jewish interests as Nazism spread widely throughout Europe during the 1930s. Among the WJC’s activities were efforts concerning Jewish rights, Anti-Semitism, immediate relief, and rescue efforts.
