| Summary: | For decades the International Tracing Service (ITS) in Bad Arolsen, Germany kept its collections closed to outside researchers. Obtaining information from the collection was a time-consuming and laborious process, and the research was carried out by ITS staff. Since the common perception was that its core consisted of lists of names collected after the war to help families trace loved ones, the fact that it was restricted was not a major concern for scholars. But for aging Holocaust survivors, their relatives, and the relatives of victims seeking answers or documentation, delay could be devastating. |
