Yad Vashem Archives Catalogue
The Berlin Document Center was established on 1945-05-10, immediately after the occupation of Berlin by the Allied forces. The purpose of the BDC was to concentrate the archival documentation of the German government institutions, the Nazi party and the organizations associated with the party. The Collection was officially returned to German ownership in the 1990s.
