Ancestry, the genealogy and DNA company has digitized millions of records of people who were displaced or persecuted in the Holocaust. The company has made the records accessible online at no cost.

The release includes passenger lists of millions of displaced people, who left ports and airports in Germany and other parts of Europe from 1946 to 1971. It also includes records of millions of people with non-German citizenship, who were incarcerated in camps or otherwise living in Germany and German-occupied territories from 1939 to 1947.
