This collection contains records about Holocaust survivors that were documented and archived by the World Jewish Congress (WJC), an international Jewish representative organization established in 1936. Records normally contain the names of survivors, dates, places of birth, the names of the survivor's parents, the index of the original record, and the page number in the original index. Records may also include the place of the last residence, citizenship, the age at the time of documentation, the camp from which the survivor was liberated, contacts requested, and any additional comments. This collection has been provided to MyHeritage by JewishGen, Inc., an independent organization, which retains all rights, title, and interest in the data. © 2021 JewishGen, Inc. All rights reserved. Visit <a href="https://jewishgen.org/welcome-myheritage/" target="blank">JewishGen</a> for more information and to search its database. The WJC was founded out of the need for a representative body to support Jewish interests as Nazism spread widely throughout Europe during the 1930s. Among the WJC’s activities were efforts concerning Jewish rights, Anti-Semitism, immediate relief, and rescue efforts.
