We are pleased to inform that our partner, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) announced the launch of of its Shared Legacy Project. Search the Joint's newly-released trove of Holocaust-era records:  you can now check out a remarkable new resource from the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) that allows people to search deep inside its massive, newly digitized collection of World War II-era documents and photographs.

Holocaust survivors and their families can see if a person's name is among the over 500,000 listed in materials now posted by JDC from its work rescuing Jews during and after the War -- and, if found, can view and download the document. You can also browse over 1,500 photos from the DP camps and other places where "The Joint" worked during and after the Shoah and help JDC identify the people in the photos. 

To do a search and to see these dramatic materials and photos, visit the website at www.jdc.org/sharedlegacy <http://www.jdc.org/sharedlegacy>
