About the data collection

The NaziCrimesAtlas (NCA) is a continuously maintained reference work for the systematic, location-based documentation of National Socialist crimes (1933–1945).

The database provides structured, machine-readable datasets on the website. Each event is annotated with Schema.org metadata. The data on the website are optimised for search engines.

Detailed text, source references, illustrations and educational content are available only in the NaziCrimesAtlas app, which is the central platform for research and in-depth study.
