WARSAW, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- A Polish institute on Monday made public a database which contains about 8,500 names and personal data of the Auschwitz concentration camp SS-man personnel.
"We begin from the Auschwitz concentration camp, but we are planning on expanding this database on other Nazi concentration camps in future," said Jaroslaw Szarek, head of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance.
The data are available online at www.truthaboutcamps.eu/zalogass. It is available in English, German and Polish languages.
"We show to the world who the personnel of SS-man really were," Szarek said.
Most of the personnel were German. There were also citizens of the occupied states, such as Romania, Slovakia and Hungary, who declared themselves of German origin.
