BERLIN (Deutsche Welle) - The last remaining hurdle to the opening up a massive Holocaust archive held in Germany has been cleared after Greece voted to change an international treaty. The Greek parliament voted unanimously to make the information contained in the Bad Arolsen archive public. Greece is the last of the archive's 11 governing countries to approve amending the treaty governing the Nazi-era documents. France voted in favor of the changes last week, and the U.S., Israel, Britain, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Italy agreed to the amendments earlier this year.  Much of the digital information kept in the archive has already been transferred to national Holocaust repositories in countries such as the U.S. and Israel, but previously this information was only available to Holocaust survivors and their families. The digital transfers should be completed by the end of 2007, officials said. Eventually, the information will also be made available to the public via the Internet. The archives, which is overseen by the International Tracing Service (ITS) - an arm of the Red Cross - consist of up to 100 million digital pages of information. This is divided into separate collections covering detention records, forced and slave labor, and displaced persons as well as an index containing around 17 million names.
