Tracing the Past e.V. is a registered non-profit organization in Berlin, Germany.[1][2] The nonprofit runs an online memorial called "Mapping the Lives: A Central Memorial for the Persecuted in Europe 1933–1945."[3] This project memorializes people who were persecuted in Europe under the Nazi Regime, with data sourced from the German Federal Archives’ 1939 German census and "Resident's List,” the latter of which recorded the fates of all known Jews who lived in Nazi Germany.[4][5][6][7][8]
The database of Mapping the Lives lists over 950,000 unique biographical entries that are accessible via text searches or interactive maps showing residences by street address.[6] By way of comparison, the German Federal Archives Holocaust Memorial Book online has 176,475 biographical entries and reveals only cities of residence.[9] The Mapping the Lives website is recommended as a Holocaust resource by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., the Commission for Looted Art in Europe, and the House of the Wannsee Conference in Berlin.[10][11][12] A number of other platforms also recommend Mapping the Lives as a research tool.[13]
According to a February 2023 report in the Berlin newspaper Die Tageszeitung, the Tracing the Past organization is supported solely from private donations and receives no funding from the German government.[6]
