Jews in Dresden
Within the scope of the project examining the historic film 'Dresden's Last Jews Are Collected in the Hellerberg Camp on 23-24 Nov. 1942', researcher Marcus Gryglewski has compiled an extensive range of materials on National Socialist persecution of the Jews in Dresden. In addition to the historical film, the collection 'Jews in Dresden' comprises 61 wide binders containing numerous paper copies, microfilms, essays and photographs from these and other archives:
- Dresden State Archives
- Yad Vashem Library
- Central Office Ludwigsburg
- German Federal Archives Berlin
- Berlin Document Center
Over the next few years the collection will be expanded to include materials collected within the scope of the project 'Memorial Book for the Persecuted Jews of Dresden' by Gesellschaft für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit Dresden e.V. (Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation). These materials include written reports, photographs and documents from survivors of the Shoah or from their family members.
The results of this long-term project, sponsored in part by the Foundation, have been incorporated into a memorial book which was published in 2006 and is available in bookstores.
