Our upcoming exhibitions
Check out our traveling exhibition and dive into the stories of #StolenMemory! Maybe we will be near you soon! On the map you can find the next locations and dates of #StolenMemory in Germany, Poland and France.
Jewelry, photos, papers – the Nazis confiscated all the victims’ personal belongings on their arrest. Several thousand of these items from the concentration camps still exist today. We search for the victims’ families and return these things to them.
An initiative of the
Arolsen Archives
Window onto history
A wallet or a watch suddenly turns up out of the blue. And sometimes a story that nobody knew anything about: What do children and grandchildren feel when they hold these memories in their hands?
Some 2000 objects are still waiting
#StolenMemory was launched in 2016. With the help of volunteers, we are trying to trace the relatives of victims of Nazi persecution. Because their personal belongings do not belong to the archive, they are just stored there.
Life as it was before imprisonment
Some 2,000 envelopes containing various objects are still waiting to be returned to the families of the victims. Here you can find photos and 3D scans of some “effects” and the names of their owners.
To find all the names and see all the objects, go to our online archive.
How you can help
We need you! In the worldwide search for the families of the victims, we depend on the help of volunteers who know the local area and can research on the spot.
