Holocaust Tracing
As part of its international mission, the American Red Cross can help the thousands of Americans still seeking information about loved ones missing since the Holocaust and World War II.

In 1989, the Soviet Union released documents from Auschwitz and other camps to the International Committee of the Red Cross. This cache of documents, which included 46 death books and thousands of names, provided the single largest source of information made available since the end of World War II.

Red Cross can link a local person making a tracing request with the tracing resources of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. During the last decade, American Red Cross has assisted with more than 24,000 inquiries from individuals seeking information about loved ones missing since the Holocaust and World War II.
