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."
