1)-On the 8th of July 2009 the following has been agreed between the
Dutch Red Cross in The Hague and Amoetat Akevoth:-
Family members of perished Holocaust victims included in the In Memoriam
database, can turn , when interested, to the Dutch Red Cross, using the
proper request form, for further information. (additional details,
documentation, etc.-when available).The filled-in form will be send
directly to the proper authority of the Dutch Red Cross in The Hague.
The Dutch Red Cross has assured us, that, where Dutch Holocaust victims
are concerned, the ITS archives in Arolsen, recently made available, do
not contain any information nor documentation that is not available in
the huge archives of the Red Cross in the Netherlands. These archives
are better organized than the ITS archives, nevertheless further steps
are taken to improve the accessibility and digitalization of the
material archived, in the future.
2)-On
the 4th of January 2010 a similar agreement has been reached with the
Remembrance Center of Camp Westerbork (Herinnerings
Centrum Westerbork),
where also a huge archive of information on deportations,documents,
photographs and much more, is maintained.
For writing to Westerbork the link to the second request form should be
used; the filled-in form will be send directly to the Remembrance
Center.
We
therefore recommend to use these opportunities for the request of
further information, stored by these two central Holocaust information
centers in the Netherlands, instead of turning to other alternative
international sources. Both the Dutch Red Cross and the Remembrance
Center of Camp Westerbork (Herinnerings Centrum Westerbork) -
http://www.westerbork.nl.
cooperate closely with Akevoth.
This adds additional weight to our recommendation.
