Holdings

The Fritz Bauer Institute archive’s holdings can be divided into five main departments: »Fritz Bauer Institute archive«, »Collections«, »Legacies«, »Select materials« and »Printed material and grey literature«. The archive’s holdings are continuously expanded and indexes created for the individual materials. However, as not all of these indexes can be placed online for data privacy reasons, please contact archiv(at)fritz-bauer-institut.de for questions on specific records.

The Fritz Bauer Institute archive also makes descriptions of selected holdings available via the website of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI). The currently available information on holdings can be found here.
