USHMM Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933-1945 online for free #general
Lewis, Megan
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has made the first two
volumes of their Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos 1933-1945 freely available on its website at https://www.ushmm.org/research/publications/encyclopedia-camps-ghettos/volumes-i-and-ii-available-online [or http://tinyurl.com/m9qat2t --Mod.] Volume I includes the major concentration camps, their sub-camps, SS construction brigades, and early camps set up by the police, SA and SS shortly after the Nazis seized power. Volume II includes ghettos in German-occupied territories. Each volume matches the physical format of the book, and each consists of two pdf files. The place name index is in the back of the second part of each volume. Each signed article includes citations and bibliographies for further research. Overview articles provide additional information, and are worth reading. Future volumes will be made available online after the print volume has been available for a few years. Volume III- camps and ghettos in countries allied with the Nazis- is scheduled to be released in print this year.
