How a German archive brings victims of the Nazis back to life
Briefly

The Arolsen Archives in Germany is dedicated to reuniting Holocaust survivors with lost relatives and their loved ones' belongings. This initiative became particularly significant for two half-sisters, Sula Miller and Helen Schaller, who discovered their shared father, Mendel Müller, a Holocaust survivor. Through Miller's inquiry, researchers at the archives found a 1951 letter from Müller’s wife looking for him. Over several years, they traced Schaller in Germany, resulting in a heartfelt reunion—highlighting the archives' vital role in keeping historical memories alive and aiding family connections long after the Nazi regime's atrocities.
