Genealogical Records from the Holocaust - Speaking Engagement

Temple Adat Elohim, 2420 E Hillcrest Drive Thousand Oaks
Event Description
The Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County present Genealogical Records from the Holocaust, a speaking engagement.
All efforts to collect information on individuals persecuted during the Nazi regime, including in the Holocaust, were centralized through an international agreement establishing the International Tracing Service (ITS) in 1955, located in Bad Arolsen, Germany. The international opening of the ITS archives, the largest collection of records on Holocaust victims and survivors, offers a new window for those seeking information on the fates of family members.
The presentation will cover what is (and isn’t) in the collection, how to access it given that it is not on the web. There are 50 million name cards, proving information on about 17 million people.
Speaker: Peter Landé, volunteer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM)
