Abstract

The Arolsen Archives' crowdsourcing project #EveryNameCounts began in 2020 as a school campaign and within a few months grew into a worldwide initiative. Through the work of volunteers, millions of records of concentration camp documents are captured. On the one hand, this data basis optimizes the search in the online archive of the Arolsen Archives and, on the other hand, makes research based on mass data possible in the first place. The work of the volunteers goes far beyond mere data collection. A digital monument is being created. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
