Documenting the Holocaust

Documenting the Holocaust involves collecting, preserving, and studying records—such as photographs, testimonies, official documents, and artifacts—that chronicle the systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazi regime during World War II. This process aims to ensure that such atrocities are accurately remembered, understood, and never repeated. It provides survivors’ accounts and evidence to educate future generations, promote awareness, and support justice. Ultimately, Holocaust documentation safeguards the memory of the victims and serves as a crucial historical record of one of history’s darkest chapters.
