German researchers list Nazi-era Jews

BERLIN, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- German officials and researchers said they have given Holocaust researchers in Jerusalem a list of some 600,000 Jews living in Germany between 1933 and 1945.

The list, which was compiled by the German Foundation for Remembrance, Responsibility and Future, was given Thursday to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem by foundation head Martin Salm and German Culture Minister Bernd Neumann, Deutsche Welle reported Friday.

"It provides information about the fate of Jews in National-Socialist Germany, their place of birth, their place of residence and about whether and when they left Germany or when they were murdered," said Franka Kuehn, a spokeswoman for the foundation.

The group said researchers worked for four years to compile the list, which is aimed at helping family members and scholars determine the fates of Jews living in Germany during the Holocaust.
