Provenance:
- There is a notation in the article that the information contained in this list was obtained by Aufbau from an unnamed American soldier who had obtained it from a representative of the Jewish Community of Frankfurt.
- From September 1, 1944 through September 27, 1946, the German-language newspaper Aufbau, published in New York City, printed numerous lists of Jewish Holocaust survivors, as well as a few lists of victims. These lists, which include 33,557 names in total, were computerized and proofread by staff and volunteers of the Survivors Registry of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. from 1997 to 1999. A searchable database of these names can be found online at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/holocaust/aufbau.htm. Data compiled from this source is also included in the "USHMM namesearch" online system (Staff Version: http://staff.ushmm.org/namesearch/; Public Version: http://www.ushmm.org/namesearch/) as the data set titled: "Aufbau: A list of the locations of Holocaust survivors and victims from the Aufbau German language publications of the 1940s."

- "Die nachfolgende Liste enthält die Namen von in Frankfurt a. Main lebenden Juden, die Verwandte in den Vereinigten Staaten suchen. Wir verdanken die Liste einem amerikanischen Soldaten, der sie von einem Vertreter der Frankfurter Jüdischen Gemeinde erhalten hat. Unser Korrespondent schreibt uns, dass am Tage des Einzugs der Amerikaner 106 Volljuden in Frankfurt waren und dass 40 weitere, die sich in der Umgebung versteckt gehalten hatten, dorthin zurückgekehrt sind. Alle diese Juden sind mit Nichtjuden verheiratet. Bis Mitte Februar d. J. waren über 400 Juden in Frankfurt, aber damals wurden rund 300 zum 'Arbeitseinsatz' nach Theresienstadt deportiert. Von diesen Deportierten hat man nichts mehr gehört -- ausser einigen Postkarten, die sie von der Reise abgeschickt hatten. Die Suchenden können an der in der Liste angegebenen Adresse durch das Rote Kreuz (25 Worte) erreicht werden."--At head of article.
