The Pan-European Deportation Database and Research Project is reconstructing all transports of Jews from every Jewish community carried out by the Nazi regime during the period of the Shoah. The intention is to collect reliable and detailed information about each transport route, the bureaucratic system as well as the socio-economic background of the victims, enabling a comprehensive research of the deportation apparatus. The researchers are using a wide range of documents, including official Nazi documentation, personal accounts of survivors and various studies on deportations carried out since 1945.
