∎ Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
________________________________________________
Around eleven million so-called displaced persons were in Germany at the end of the Second World War: liberated concentration camp prisoners, forced laborers, prisoners of war – in short, millions of people who were no longer living in their home countries because of Nazi persecution and deportation.
Many of them were severely malnourished and in very bad health. The Allies and international aid organizations such as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) did all they could to help the DPs and return them home.

Escape from Soviet captivity
Lucyna Wojno was born on April 6, 1918, in Wojny-Wawrzyńce (Podlaskie Voivodeship), the daughter of Aleksander and Stefania. She was orphaned when she was two years old. Her aunt looked after her when she was small and took responsibility for her upbringing. “My mother’s sister took care of me, but you know how it is when you don’t have parents of your own. But somehow we survived… It was a hard life, and I grew up without love. But that’s all a long time ago now. Life has made a happy person out of me – I have my own apartment, I have a son who takes care of me,” she says.
Lucyna was in Warsaw when the war began, and she managed to escape from Soviet captivity after being captured in September 1939. From 1941 on, she had to work as a civilian forced laborer at Fuhrmann & Co in Munich. This is substantiated by documents from the Arolsen Archives. Her supervisor reported her to the Gestapo as a political suspect, allegedly for engaging in illegal trade.

“When I first met Rachel about eight years ago, she knew even less about our family than I did, and we decided to start looking for information,” explains Yael. “I wanted to find out as much as I could about our family so I would be able to draw up a family tree for myself, my children, and my grandchildren.
But so much information was missing. So when I was doing the research, I had the feeling I was finding my roots. Everything Rachel found out made me feel happy and confident that we would reach our goal.”

On the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27th, the Arolsen Archives are calling for participation in the # everynamecounts (everynamecounts.arolsen-archives.org/en/) challenge.
________________________________________________
The goal: Within a week, interested parties should work with other volunteers to digitize 30,000 documents from survivors of Nazi persecution. These are cards from the so-called “emigration file” in Bremen, which recorded the emigration of so-called displaced persons between 1946 and 1952 and which is kept in the Bremen State Archives.
The Arolsen Archives are the world's largest archive of the victims and survivors of National Socialism. The collection with information on around 17.5 million people is part of the UNESCO World Documentary Heritage. It contains documents on the various victim groups of the Nazi regime. The Bremen State Archives has been a cooperation partner since the 1990s.

On May 11, 1946, Dr. Erich Mosbach, a doctor from Stettin, boarded the S.S. Marine Flasher in Bremerhaven accompanied by his wife Vera, his eleven-year-old daughter Eva, and his parents-in-law. Their destination: New York. The ship was carrying 867 European “displaced persons,” deportees who had survived Nazi atrocities in ghettos and camps. The Mosbach family were among the first Holocaust survivors allowed to emigrate to the USA by ship from Bremerhaven. Their names are registered in the so-called emigration card file.
With your help, we’re going to digitize the information on 30,000 of these documents from the holdings of the State Archives in Bremen during our #everynamecounts challenge.
Miraculously, the Mosbachs managed to survive several deportations, imprisonment in camps, and forced labor. They managed to stay together for most of the time. Find out more about the family’s fate and take part in our challenge!

“Halved” prisoner personal cards
Cards like these look like harmless administrative documents at first glance. But on closer inspection, they tell a lot about the system of persecution and arbitrariness in the Third Reich.
Many prisoners did not survive the camps. Those who were not murdered died as a result of hunger, hard work or diseases that spread quickly due to the appalling hygienic conditions.
The documents shown here were probably created by surviving Czech prisoners immediately after their liberation from the camp. Recorded in this way, the personal data and information about the persecution of their fellow prisoners could be stored and preserved. Since paper was scarce, they cut the prisoner personal cards in half.
Documents like this bear witness to the injustice that the prisoners suffered. With your help, we can digitize the data contained in them and bear witness to this injustice.

New information about individual fates
This prisoner registration card filled out for a little boy called Marek is one of the cards in question. According to this document, Marek was Polish, and he was born in the Auschwitz concentration camp on August 16, 1943. He was assigned a prisoner number – 155912 – shortly after birth.
In October 1944, the Nazis deported him to a camp for Polish children. We have no record of what happened to him after that. After the war, Marek’s parents spent years searching for their son, but they never found him. All efforts to trace him came to nothing.
Personal stories like Marek’s highlight both the brutality of Nazi persecution and our responsibility to remember its victims. Marek’s prisoner registration card shows that the scattered remnants of Nazi bureaucracy can now help us remember those who suffered persecution.
These documents are not only records of individual lives, but also evidence of the scale and systematic organization of Nazi crimes. A process that began with marginalization and discrimination ended with the mass murder of millions.
________________________________________________
The Nazis tore tens of thousands of children away from their families and Germanized them by force. Marek, a young Polish boy, may have been one of them. According to a prisoner registration card, he was born in Auschwitz (Auschwitz Memorial / Muzeum Auschwitz) and probably deported to Germany when he was a baby. Marek’s parents spent years searching for their son. His prisoner registration card is one of the documents that we are going to digitize as part of the #everynamecounts challenge around International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27. By digitizing the documents and putting them online, we are making them accessible to the public in the hope that this will lead to the clarification of more fates.
According to the prisoner registration card, Marek Josef Alf or Alt was born in the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp on August 16, 1943. Immediately after his birth, he was assigned a prisoner number: 155912. In October 1944, the Nazis deported Marek to a camp for Polish children. There are no records of what happened to him after that.
Marek’s parents desperately tried to find him, turning for help to the Child Search Branch, which was part of the International Tracing Service at the time, the predecessor organization of the Arolsen Archives, as we are now called. Here is an extract from his child search file. The last document dates back to 1952. If he survived, he would already have been eight years of age by then.
We do not know anything more about his fate.
The Nazis persecuted and murdered millions of people. Help remember the victims! To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we are joining forces with you and other volunteers all over the world to digitize the prisoner registration cards from concentration camps like Auschwitz .

To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, the Arolsen Archives are inviting people to take part in a new #everynamecounts challenge. It starts on January 22.
With your help, we want to digitize the information contained in 30,000 documents from the Bremen “emigration card file” in the space of a week.
Most of the people whose data was recorded in this card file were former forced laborers and people who had survived the Holocaust, concentration camps, and ghettos. The documents provide answers to all sorts of questions: What did people need to do in order to be able leave Germany, the country of the perpetrators, after 1945?
Which countries of the world did these people go to in order to find refuge? Every document stands for a name and a fate.
During the week of January 22–28, you can be one of many volunteers from all over the world who will help give the survivors of Nazi crimes a name and highlight their fates. You will be able to find out exactly what to do here on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/ArolsenArchives ) shortly before the challenge starts.
More information: arolsen-archives.org/en/news/everynamecounts-challenge-20...
________________________________________________
The challenge will start at 8:00 am on Monday, January 22, when 30,000 index cards go online on the website.
With the help of thousands of volunteers, we aim to digitize the names and the other most important pieces of information on the cards by 8:00 pm on Sunday, January 28.
The information the cards contain concerns survivors of Nazi persecution and deportees who were eagerly waiting to emigrate and start a new life on another continent after the war.
The first 800 of them set sail for New York in May 1946 on board the Marine Flasher.

#everynamecounts: 1 week – 30,000 names. Join in and help us build the world’s largest digital memorial to the victims and survivors of Nazi persecution.
To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we’re putting 30,000 documents from the Bremen “emigration card file” online. From January 22 – 28, you can be one of the many volunteers from around the world who will be digitizing these documents that record the fates of many displaced persons after the war.
Just follow these three simple steps:
1. Go to # everynamecounts (everynamecounts.arolsen-archives.org/en/) and select „International Refugee Organization (IRO) card file“
2. Use the fields on the right-hand side to enter the information you find on the card, one detail at a time.
3. When you’ve finished, take a screenshot or a photo and share it with your friends on social media to tell them the story of the person you’re actively remembering. You can tag the @ArolsenArchives too!
It only takes a few minutes to capture the data from one card. Please give us as much of your time as you can. And tell other people about the challenge too – so they can help us complete this important task.
Get involved in active remembrance of the victims – and stand up for respect, diversity, and democracy. Because the reasons for persecution aren’t a thing of the past.
Why does the challenge focus on documents from the emigration card file?
The war was over, the concentration camps and forced labor camps had been liberated, but what happened next? There is a gap in the remembrance of Nazi persecution when it comes to the people the Allies called Displaced Persons, or DPs for short.
Hundreds of thousands of deported forced laborers and people who had survived the Holocaust, concentration camps, and ghettos were unable or unwilling to return to their native countries.
They lived in so-called DP camps while they waited for an opportunity to emigrate. One of the major emigration routes went through Bremerhaven. People spent the final weeks before their emigration in staging centers in the nearby city of Bremen, where more than 500,000 index cards were filled out as an administrative aid.
