The Deportations of Jews Project

The Deportations of Jews Research Project and Digital Database (“Transports to Extinction”) is reconstructing all transports of Jews from every Jewish community carried out by the Nazi regime during the period of the Shoah. The intention is to collect reliable and detailed information about each transport route, the bureaucratic deportation apparatus as well as the socio-economic background of the victims, enabling a comprehensive research of the deportations and their victims. The institute's researchers are using a wide range of documents, including official Nazi documentation, personal accounts of survivors and various studies on deportations carried out since 1945.
