""It does indeed seem to be very appealing to a wider public to conduct their own online research," says historian Johannes Spohr. "But, in Germany, these sources have actually been accessible at the Federal Archives since 1994. And there, one can actually obtain much more information than just about these memberships.""
""To this day, there is much more public awareness of the persecuted, the victims even their names and identities. When it comes to the perpetrators, things are still rather vague," says Spohr."
The US National Archives provides access to records of 6.6 million members of the NSDAP, allowing individuals to search for their ancestors. However, these records are incomplete, as only a fraction of the total party members are documented. In Germany, access to similar records is restricted by statutory periods, limiting information release to 100 years after birth or 10 years after death. Public awareness remains higher for victims than for perpetrators, complicating family history research.
