The Arolsen Holocaust Archive chronicles the history of the Nazi repository of voluminous
prisoner records from World War II capturing in excruciating exactitude the Nazi campaign to
murder millions and eradicate European Jewry. Located in Bad Arolsen Germany and under the
auspices of the International Red Cross the International Tracing Service (ITS) was renamed
the Arolsen Archives - International Center on Nazi Prosecution in 2019 and is one of the
largest Holocaust archives in the world. The repository holds 17.5 million name cards over 50
million documents and more than 16 miles of records and artifacts-all of which were out of
reach for both survivors and scholars from its founding in 1943 until the ITS's opening to the
public in 2007. Ehrlich is the first to record the interiors of the archives through
photography and thus to preserve the unspeakable atrocities it contains his project forms
part of permanent collections including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington D.C. Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Notable images
include documentation of Schindler's List Anne Frank's transport papers to Bergen-Belsen as
well as minute details of prisoner exploitation.
