Following the decision today to open the archives at Bad Arolsen, Israel Singer, chairman of the World Jewish Congress Policy Council, said: "We are pleased that after 60 years, the millions of written proofs for the Nazi mass murder against Jews will be open for researchers. It is a strike against all those Holocaust deniers. The opening of the archives is necessary to continue research into this dark chapter of our history; it is necessary to preserve the past so future generations could learn a lesson from it."
