The International Tracing Service of the Red Cross, which maintains files here relating to victims of nazism, announced today that the fates of about 200, 000 more victims of nazism may now be determined through enlargement of the center’s archives, resulting from researches in the former concentration camps at Auschwitz and Mathausen, in Poland.
According to the Tracing Service, a team of researchers has just completed an eight-week project at the two camps in Poland, where files relating to Nazi victims were put on microfilm. The new files have been added to the Center’s archives.
