I hope you find it useful – it’s an incredibly helpful set of resources.

You might want to take a look at the holdings at USHMM on Kitchener camp, by the way.

I uploaded a page of links to these some time ago, and more have probably been uploaded since then. They have an excellent collection of digitized Kitchener images.

Please see the link to the PDF, below –
