An additional tranche of approximately 250 pages has been identified in the material received from the Arolsen Archives, principally copies that had been held in the files of JDC’s Rome Office. This product has not received a written review yet. Nearly 9,000 records have already been created from documents previously found in our text collections and are searchable online in the JDC Archives Names Index. The team will now continue a project indexing Emigration Service lists of Departures from Europe, 1947-1954.

The JDC Archives is grateful to our volunteers for their diligent, painstaking work on these cards. The card is from the JDC Paris office but indicates that the case originated in the Prague office and the destination is Australia.Īnother example that we have previously shared is that of the Groll family (“ Piecing together a Puzzle with Newly Received Digital Collections,” July 2019), for which we found relevant records in our Prague Office postwar case files, the Paris index cards, and an as-yet undigitized set of index cards of Czech refugees at the time of the 1968 uprising. An index card in the Paris Emigration Service collection shows Kurt Abeles and his accompanying family members-his wife Alice and their daughters Edith, Elizabeth, and Eva-who in March 1949 were living in Kurt’s hometown of Postoloprty, Czechoslovakia. Others reflect an effort by the JDC Overseas Headquarters in Paris to compile a master index of emigration cases from other JDC Emigration Service offices throughout Europe.Īdding the AJDC Paris Emigration Service cards to the JDC Archives Names Index links them to existing sets of postwar Emigration Service index cards from JDC’s Munich, Vienna, and Warsaw offices, the recently indexed Emigration Service case files from JDC’s Prague office, and lists from the immediate postwar period, creating connections to other documentation in the JDC Archives and augmenting the stories they tell.Īn example is that of the Abeles family. Some document what was often a two-stage journey for the emigrants, who first traveled from their home countries or DP camps to France, where they awaited final visas and travel arrangements. The index cards include the client’s name, date and place of birth, current address, nationality, occupation, destination, and accompanying family members.
