There is a personal fate behind every document. Even now, more than 60 years after the end of World War II, the ITS is still receiving a large number of requests from victims of Nazi persecution and their family members. To know the exact fate and whereabouts of relatives is of enormous relevance to the survivors.
Founded towards the end of the Second World War, the ITS focussed for many years on tracing missing persons. Although nowadays only a small percentage of the work done is concerned with tracing, the ITS is still able to successfully answer questions about the fate of individuals.
ITS is able to provide information for survivors of the Nazi terror and their family members, specially about incarceration in concentration camps, ghettos and Gestapo prisons, forced labour and Displaced Person camps.
