Two Remarkable Holocaust-Related Publications. These two volumes, published by the Jewish Agency for Palestine were designed to facilitate the search for missing persons. Pasted into the first volume is a notice: "Enquiries for further particulars concerning survivors listed in this book should be addressed to the Search Bureau for Missing Relatives, Jewish Agency for Palestine, Jerusalem. A separate sheet should be used for each name, quoting the page and column on which the name appears." The lists were received from various locales, each under different auspices. Thus, the "List of Jewish Survivors from East European Towns," was "registered with the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Moscow and submitted to the World Jewish Congress" (p.155)
