Database of Holocaust Victims
The Terezín Initiative Institute attempts to document names and fates of all prisoners of the Terezín ghetto and of other victims of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" in Czech Lands and to use this data in order to assist commemoration and promote Holocaust education. The information gathered in the framework of this documentation project is made available for survivors, family members, but also to the public, to historians and in the frame of our educational projects to schools.
The first results of the documentations Project were the Terezín Memorial Books.

You can find the data relating to the people thay came to Terezín with the death marches in the last months of the was (so called evacuation transports) and the information about the Jews deported from Czech Lands directly to Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, Minsk and Ujazdow.
