Web site documents trace lives of Jews worldwide
A new online collection of millions of historic Jewish records is helping families trace their personal history. The documents on Ancestry.com include Schindler's List - the names of almost 2,000 Jews working for a German who employed them to save them. Their story was told in the Oscar-winning film directed by Steven Spielberg. Many of the 26 million documents are online for the first time - from photographs and immigration data to memorials offering first-hand accounts of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Also on the site are records about displaced Jews provided with food, medical care, clothing and emigration assistance. One database is a registry of more than 1 million Jews buried in thousands of cemeteries worldwide.
