The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has gathered millions of historical documents containing details about survivors and victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution during World War II. In partnership with Ancestry.com the two organizations have created the World Memory Project to allow the public to help make the records from the Museum searchable by name online for free.
