Experts close to opening secret Nazi archive

(Thursday, February 15th, 2007)

Technical experts have completed a blueprint to make millions of Nazi documents stored in Germany accessible to Holocaust researchers, but the 11 nations overseeing the massive archive must give the green light, the archive director said Thursday.

The outline approved at a three-day meeting in Germany, for transferring huge amounts of data was a critical step toward opening the long-secret files maintained by the International Tracing Service, an arm of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Among the records are transport documents and death lists, and notes on concentration camp inmates ranging from their hereditary diseases to the number of lice plucked from their heads.

    CNN had a documentary on the Nazi archives. It was a “PACHAD” to see what kind of records they kept…on everyone about everything.

    There is no chance that these archives will be open for the public, especially if 11 countries have to unanimously agree upon it.

    It is amazing how much red tape you need for a green light…
