About the volunteering opportunity

With #everynamecounts, you record the names and dates of victims and survivors of National Socialism. In this way, you actively engage with the past and set an example for respect, diversity and democracy.

The documents in our archive, which document the fates of 17.5 million people, have already been scanned. However, in order to make them findable and visible worldwide in our online archive, the information must be entered into a database - with your help!

Your Tasks

Over 400,000 volunteer supporters have helped so far. We have already processed more than 7 million documents together.
Help, it's very easy. Just 5 minutes is enough for a document to become a new building block in the digital monument.

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.
You need a screen that is at least as large as a tablet. Unfortunately, mobile input is not possible.

What to bring

All you need is your laptop or tablet and off you go.
