The UNESCO has inscribed the original documents and the Central Name Index of the Archives of the International Tracing Service (ITS) in Bad Arolsen, Germany, into the Memory of the World Register. „We are thrilled by the news“, said ITS director Professor Rebecca Boehling. „This is a great honor for the ITS and should attract even more attention to our incredible collections related to the victims of Nazi persecution and its legacy. The responsibility we all share in securing and preserving these archives for posterity is confirmed by this UNESCO decision.“
