Digital recording of the ARI’s historical membership register
Heritage and History (H&H) and the Associação Religiosa Israelita do Rio de Janeiro (ARI) are collaborating to digitally record the historical membership register of the German-Jewish community of Rio de Janeiro from the 1940s.
The digitization of this index creates a collection of information about a specific group whose history has not yet been adequately evaluated and researched in the context of the immigration movements of the Jewish population in the 20th century.
The data collection of individuals and the resulting creation of their biographies enable a better understanding of their own fate and that of their family members, but at the same time also knowledge about the fate of certain population groups.
