Researching those “lost” during the Holocaust is very challenging. Fortunately, new resources continue to become available.
Though I am not of Jewish heritage, I can tell you that my visit to Dachau
The Buchenwald Memorial Foundation has placed a list of 38,000 confirmed victims of the Buchenwald concentration camp online at http://www.buchenwald.de/totenbuch. The website is in German.
There is also a link to a separate list of Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp victims at http://totenbuch.dora.de.
