Over the past several months we’ve linked to numerous stories by the Associated Press about the opening of International Tracing Service Archive at Bad Arolsen, Germany. The ITS has millions of records about people taken to Nazi concentration camps.

Links to many of those stories and other AP materials can be found here.

In a report that recently updated and aired on the CBS News program 60 Minutes (first aired in December 2006), Scott Pelley visits the ITS, shows some of the digitization going on, and shows the records of three Holocaust survivors to them.

A narrative / transcript of the 60 Minutes segment that is titled, “Hitler’s Secret Archive” can be found here.

The video is available here.
