Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland: Database

[Peter W Lande pdlande@starpower.net]

X-No-archive: yes
A year or two ago the International Tracing Service at Bad Arolsen posted
three of its collections on the web –go online to Archives ITS Arolsen,
and then Digital Collections. The most important of these are thousands
of Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland registration cards, which
are provided in alphabetical order. All Jews still resident in Germany
1938-1941, regardless of nationality, were required to register, though
only about 30,000 of these cards remain available.

For some time, using a number of different sources of information, I have
been indexing and supplementing the information on these cards. So far I
have completed all names beginning with the letters A-L. 17,396 cards and I
will continue with the rest of the alphabet. The database is available at
www.stevemorse.org/jewishroof . Unlike the original ITS version, which can
only be searched by family name, this database can be searched by other
factors such as maiden name, place of birth and even destination, in the
case of emigres. For example, 166 persons emigrated to Argentina, while 949
emigrated to the United States. Where a registrant was known by more than
one name, which was often the case, I have entered both and linked them.
The cards themselves often contain interesting additional information such
as profession, address, and other family members.

Please do not ask me for copies of cards, since these are already available
on the ITS website. However, if there are additional questions I will try
to help.
