The Red Cross provides a free service that helps people research what happened to family members or friends whom they knew prior to or during the Holocaust. They have secured documentation regarding proof of forced labor, evacuation from former Soviet territories, and internment in concentration camps, and have also found more than a thousand people who survived the Holocaust. If you would like to learn more about this service, contact Bob Rich at bob.rich@redcross.org or (818) 298-7219
