New Online Tool Lets You Discover If Your Ancestors Were Nazis

A groundbreaking online search engine has been launched in Germany, allowing people worldwide to check if their ancestors were members of the Nazi Party.

Developed in partnership with American and German archives, the tool provides access to digitized records of millions of Nazi Party members. This initiative, spearheaded by the weekly 'Die Zeit,' aims to promote transparency and support historical research. The searchable database is expected to shed light on family histories and broader societal involvement in the Nazi regime.

The move is seen as a significant step forward for both personal discovery and academic study of the era.
