    The documents on Ancestry.com include Schindler’s List — the names of almost 2,000 Jews working for a German who employed them to save them.

    Many of the 26 million documents are online for the first time — from photographs and immigration data to memorials offering first-hand accounts of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Also on the site are records about displaced Jews provided with food, medical care, clothing and emigration assistance.

    One database is a registry of more than 1 million Jews buried in thousands of cemeteries worldwide.

    How could a German save 2000 by employing them? Certainly the Germans were on the lookout for fake ID’s etc. if they were exterminating Jews? The story is very unclear.

    the site is based in Provo, Utah and is run by the Mormon Church. Your money goes to fund missionaries.

    Wrong # 8. there is an article on this topic by Avoteinu. If someone can look it up & link it here please do.
    Although I won’t deny that there are Mormon shareholders, it is a public company.
