Bad Arolsen, German - International Panel Agrees to Open Huge Holocaust Archive to Public
Bad Arolsen, German - A massive archive on the Nazi Holocaust will be opened to researchers for the first time.
The 11-nation panel that overseeing the 50 million files, Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United States, made the decision after Germany last month agreed to a compromise on privacy concerns.
Officials with the International Tracing Service says it hopes the individual nations will sign and ratify the agreement soon so that access can be granted by the end of the year. The papers contain information on more than 17-million victims of the World War II Nazi death camps, including the names and records of Jews, Roma Gypsies, homosexuals, and the mentally ill.
