List of Buchenwald Victims Now Online
Tuesday April 13, 2010

Just in time for the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, the Buchenwald Memorial Foundation created a website to list the confirmed victims of Buchenwald. The website, Die Toten, 1937-1945 ("The Dead, 1937-1945"), contains 38,000 names.

Although, the website is currently only in German, you can still easily find and read the names. In addition to each name, the Memorial has attached a separate page for each person that lists information such as the person's birth and death dates along with their birthplaces. If you are a relative of someone who died at Buchenwald or know someone who is a relative, please contact the the Buchenwald Memorial if you have any additional personal information that they could be added to the website.
