About the volunteering opportunity

With #everynamecounts, you record the names and dates of victims and survivors of National Socialism. In this way, you actively engage with the past and set an example for respect, diversity and democracy.

The documents in our archive, which document the fates of 17.5 million people, have already been scanned. However, in order to make them findable and visible worldwide in our online archive, the information must be entered into a database - with your help!

Your Tasks

Over 400,000 volunteer supporters have helped so far. We have already processed more than 7 million documents together.
Help, it's very easy. Just 5 minutes is enough for a document to become a new building block in the digital monument.

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
 All you need is your laptop or tablet, and you're good to go. Unfortunately, you can't enter data on a mobile device.

Important notice

We’ll meet on Zoom to kick things off together. There, you’ll receive a brief introduction to the Arolsen Archives and the volunteer opportunity. After that, you can get started with the volunteer work. At the end of the session, we’ll meet again on Zoom for a feedback session. If you can’t commit to the full three hours, you can also end the project on your own earlier.
