Narrative
The upheavals wrought by Nazi persecution and the Second World War caused mass uprooting of individuals and groups. Many of these individuals wished to emigrate from Europe to begin a new life – a goal supported and coordinated by the International Refugee Organization (IRO) and later by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Movements of Migrants from Europe (ICEM).
This collection consists of passenger lists of immigrants leaving Germany and other European ports and airports between 1946-1971. Most of the immigrants listed in this collection are displaced persons - Holocaust survivors, former concentration camp inmates, Nazi forced laborers, refugees from Central and Eastern European countries, and some non-European countries. Many of the immigrants listed in the collection fall outside the ITS (International Tracing Service) mandate.
