Archival History

Le Centre d'Etudes et de Documentation Guerre et Sociétés contemporaines

Acquisition

The Belgian government collected the material during the post-World War II period from a wide variety of sources including concentration and prisoner of war camps, relief and charity organizations, hospitals and prisons. The collection was originally with the Belgium Ministry of Health which transferred it to the Centre d'Etudes et de Documentation Guerre et Sociétés contemporaines (CEGES). The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in 2002.

Scope and Content

See also Part Mi, Part P, and Part R (Rg-65.001M; Rg-65.003M; Rg-65.004M).
