Netherlands Publishes Names of 425,000 Suspected Nazi Collaborators from 32 Million Page Archive
Jan 2, 2025, 01:54 PM
The Netherlands has made public an online registry of nearly 425,000 individuals suspected of collaborating with the Nazis during World War II. This action follows the expiration of a law that previously restricted public access to the archive, known as the Central Archive of Special Jurisdiction (CABR), which spans 32 million pages. The archive includes names of mostly Dutch people investigated for collaboration with German occupiers. Only a fifth of those listed were ever prosecuted, with most cases involving minor offenses such as membership in the National Socialist movement. The full digital release of the archive's files has been postponed due to privacy concerns raised by the Dutch Data Protection Authority, with only the list of names currently available online. Researchers, descendants, journalists, and historians can request to view the complete files at the Dutch National Archives in The Hague.
