Historians, sociologists, and those interested in tracing the history of
the Holocaust may benefit from Mapping the Lives, a platform that
serves as "a central memorial for the persecuted in Europe [from]
1933-1945." Through interactive street maps that memorialize victims of
the Nazi Regime's persecution, the resource goes beyond traditional
"memorial book[s]" to reclaim space for the lives that were lost. In
doing so, they show a deeper picture of the neighborhoods--down to a
street address--impacted by the Holocaust. The creators recommend that
users read the Mapping the Lives User Guide (accessible by clicking the
box in the top left corner and selecting User Guide) before diving into
the database. This guide defines some key terms, explains how best to
navigate the site, and links to a page on the data source (the 1939
German Minority Census) that also contains a 2014 TED talk from Roderick
Miller introducing Mapping the Lives. On the Home page visitors can
navigate the map itself, beginning at a macro-level to examine the
country-wide impact of the Holocaust, or zooming in to understand how
this tragedy impacted individual cities and neighborhoods. In addition
to scrolling the map, readers can search by name, street, and city by
entering information into the Search box at the top left, or conduct an
Advanced Search (linked at the bottom of the Search box). Mapping the
Lives is an extension of Tracing the Past, a non-profit organization
seeking to bring the "far-removed past [of the Holocaust] more clearly
into the residents of Europe's sense of daily reality." The resource is
available in both English and German.
