Photographs of up to 2,000 Holocaust survivors from Dachau will be made available this spring in a searchable online archive.
The International Tracing Service (ITS), which researches and documents Nazi persecution during the Holocaust, said the people in the images were identified because of a recently-discovered card index file.
The photographs were used by survivors after the Second World War to prove they had been in the Dachau concentration camp and were entitled to support from relief organisations.
“Photos are especially valuable because we have only very few of them, and even fewer in the original,” said Franziska Schubert, who works at the ITS.
