According to the library, the
description of the listings is as follows: “Such listings were distributed
worldwide…Similar lists can be found in various collections…These have been
broadly consolidated through the online Holocaust Survivors and Victims Database
of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum…Similar lists were compiled and
distributed by numerous Jewish community based and relief aid organisations in
France, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Palestine, and South Africa. The
specific assortment of papers listed here was found in the old Schoonder Street
Synagogue and Donated anonymously to the Cape Town Holocaust Centre in 2011…Some
of the lists provide information related to individuals who were murdered in
concentration camps, but most of the lists provide information related to
those who survived in different locations…the lists are in Hebrew, English,
French, German and Italian….”
One of the most interesting
documents is an “Extract of a list providing biographical details of survivors”
According to the description, this is a document of unknown origin which
provides “…names and personal information for 24 refugees, including
information about family living overseas and needing to be located.”
