USHMM, Days of Remembrance
This week is Holocaust remembrance week, or the Days of Remembrance. It also marks our 3rd Anniversary of the World Memory Project. We have accomplished a lot over the past 3 years!
- 3100+ contributors have contributed 2.44+ million records
- We’ve completed 23 projects adding 15 new databases on Ancestry
To celebrate this week we will highlight each of the projects with Daily Challenges.
- Tuesday – USHMM – Kraków, Poland, ID Card Applications for Jews During WWII, 1940-1941 (Part 7) This is the last of our Krakow projects and contains a different variety of records from the previous Krakow records. The form types are easy to identify and there is a variety of handwritten and typed records.
- Wednesday – USHMM – Poland, Lodz Ghetto Worker ID Cards, 1939-1944 (Part 2) There are also 7 different form types for this project, minus the Miscellaneous records, they are on printed forms and easy to identify. There is a variety of handwritten and typed records.
- Thursday – USHMM – Poland, Lodz Ghetto Register Books, 1939-1944 (Part 2) These are handwritten records on printed forms so it is easy to locate the data to be keyed.
- Friday – USHMM – Odessa, Ukraine, Selected Holocaust Records from Romanian Occupation during World War II and USHMM – Czech Republic, Social Welfare and Repatriation Records of Holocaust Survivors, 1939-1948, 1939-1948 There are only arbitration (Odessa) and review records available for these projects.
- Saturday & Sunday – Overall top keyer and top reviewer of USHMM projects
If you encounter questions while you are keying or reviewing these projects post them on the Discussion page for the project, the USHMM Records message board or our Keying Party FB page.
Thank you to all of our World Memory Project contributors!
I have three completed sets of records from USHMM Odessa, but cannot upload them because you have removed Odessa from the list of available datasets. What’s going on? The datasets now have a clock character next to their name, which I assume means they are running out of time and will be returned as not completed.
