Holocaust Era Archives
A major collaborative effort between the Zekelman Holocaust Center and the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO) has resulted in a new searchable website holding over 160,000 frames of microfilm. The records were sources from the Hungarian National Archives (MNL) and they detail the persecution and seizure of property during World War II. The database is fully keyword-searchable for names, as well as words. While the physical reels were sourced from the National Archives of Hungary in the 1960s, this is the first time the complete collection has been made fully searchable and viewable online to the general public.
