World War Two
2 hours ago (edited)
I’ve gotten the question how we get such exact numbers, and information about some of the single events of the Holocaust. In this episode the buried manuscripts of Auschwitz give us a glimpse into the hard, meticulous work that has gone into that research by thousands of people in the past nine decades. Millions, literally millions of pieces of information have been compiled, researched, and cross referenced to get as close to the truth as we possibly can.

The sources are a compilation of the surviving German records, captured intelligence from the war, testimonies, cross referenced records from occupied countries — like tax records and death certificates, forensic findings from the sites, and much more. The findings have been compiled into databases, reference works, articles, and books ever since the investigations began already during the war. For instance; for Auschwitz there is a “bible” that contains all the data that exists day by day: the Chronicle of Auschwitz 1939-1945, by Danuta Czech, the late deputy director of the Auschwitz museum. She spent two decades tracking down every number she could. It’s one of the major reference works that all of us who research in this field use.

This effort continues, and we improve our collective understanding of the events a little bit more every year — it’s literally detective work, researching the biggest mass murder in known human history. Our part in that is to present as much of that as we can to a wider audience. Even at that surface level it means going through an immense amount of disparate information about millions of lost souls — and while that is excruciating and heart wrenching, that is also why it’s so important; documenting their deaths, every death, means that their memory is preserved, and honored. It means that the perpetrators ultimately fail in their goal to eradicate the identity of their victims.

Never Forget
