Title or Main Description:
War Lives (Warlives.org) is a search engine for finding available sources relating to people in the then Kingdom of the Netherlands during wartime.
War Lives is the starting point for research on the personal histories of eyewitnesses during World War II. The lives of some 300,000 witnesses of war have now been reconstructed from 2.5 million name citations from the collections and databases of nearly 30 participants of the Dutch Network of War Collections. Warlives.org is constantly developing and presents the lives of individuals in a clear manner by means of timelines. Further research is made easier by referring visitors to available sources.
