New Holocaust Data Sets on Ancestry.com Ted Bainbridge, Ph.D.

This organization published my “Holocaust Records on Ancestry.com” earlier. Since that article was written, Ancestry.com has added a number of data sets to their holdings. Below is their current list of data sets that include Holocaust in their titles (23 items), followed by items flagged with Holocaust as a keyword (201 items, broken into groups of 25). Both lists show Ancestry’s newest acquisitions at the top. Scan both lists to see if Ancestry has acquired new data that would help your research, but which did not exist the last time you searched the site for such materials.

These data sets described a wide variety of people, such as residents of a place, holders of work permits, people on transports, prisoners, people killed, survivors, and (ambiguously) “victims.” The sets include a wide variety of infuriating subjects, such as, “Dachau Inmates Possessions Upon Entry”, “Krakow Apartments of Displaced Jews”, and “Natzweiler Medical Experiments.”

Scanning these titles might reveal useful items that you never would have expected to find intentionally. Every researcher should look at every data set with an ambiguous title such as, “selected records”, as well as those described as being provided by an organization instead of being described by their content.

Remember that Ancestry has Holocaust items that are not found by hunting for Holocaust as a title word or keyword. To be sure you have found all items related to this subject, you must search for additional words and phrases as described in my other article. When you see a hit list in response to a search, go to the top right area of Ancestry’s screen and set the Sort By box to Date Added. That will put the newest acquisitions at the top of the list.
