NaziCrimesAtlas app analytics for December 25

The digital atlas collects cases of Nazi injustice at thousands of locations in Germany and enables citizens to research the sources for the respective crime scenes. For the first time, the Digital Atlas of Nazi Crimes offers a freely accessible and geo-referenced map showing the respective crimes and crime scenes. This research tool provides comprehensive information on the documented crimes committed by the National Socialists in Germany between 1933 and 1945. The project is being continuously expanded and improved through co-operation with existing data collections in order to ensure an even more precise and comprehensive presentation of the historical crimes. As part of the educational agenda on Nazi injustice, the EVZ Foundation is supporting the development of an innovative smartphone app that visualises the locations of Nazi crimes on a digital map. This app is based on extensive sources that document the offences and crime scenes in detail. Around 25,000 court files document various crimes and their crime scenes, including concentration camps, detention centres, clinics, torture cellars and everyday locations. In addition to these files, other sources on the Holocaust document the scenes of Nazi crimes, including archives such as the Yad Vashem Memorial, the Arolsen Archives and the Central Office in Ludwigsburg.
