everynamecounts is a crowdsourcing initiative by the Arolsen Archives: Together with tens of thousands of volunteers, we establish a digital memorial to the people persecuted by the Nazis. That way, future generations will be able to remember the names and identities of these victims. With #everynamecounts, everyone can stand up for respect, diversity, and democracy. Because the reasons for persecution are not a thing of the past.

Thanks to #everynamecounts, we build the world’s largest online archive on people persecuted by the Nazis. Tens of thousands of volunteers are already onboard and help us to digitally transcribe the names and data in historical documents.

Since the initiative started, we have already processed over 6 million documents. However, there are a total of 30 million historical documents in our archive – so we need many more helpers to complete the digital monument. With our new crowdsourcing tool, you can find out how it works and get started straight away:
