Inside the German archive where victims of the Nazis come back to life


Bad Arolsen (Germany) (AFP) – The vast Arolsen Archives, located in the quaint spa town of Bad Arolsen in central Germany, is the world’s largest repository of information on the victims and survivors of the Nazi regime. Eighty years after the end of World War II, people all over the world are still discovering the fate of their family members sent to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi death camps. “Approximately 20,000 people contact us each year asking for information about the fate of a relative”, says the director, Floriane Azoulay.
