ITS Recruitment

The International Tracing Service (ITS) in Bad Arolsen, Germany, is looking to fill a number of new positions. The positions range from Head of the Archival Description Department, to research assistants and archivists.

More information is available on the website of the International Tracing Service. The ITS is an archive and a center for documenting National Socialist persecution and the liberated survivors. Out of the more than 30 million documents, former victims of Nazism and their families receive information regarding their incarceration, forced labor, and postwar allied assistance. The documents in the ITS archives provide the basis for research and education. In continuing to fulfill these responsibilities, the ITS is part of an international cooperation with memorial sites, archives and research institutes. The ITS commemorates the victims of the Holocaust as well as the crimes of the National Socialist regime and in so doing contributes to a culture of remembrance. As of 2013 the original documents in the ITS archives are included on the UNESCO Memory of the World registry.

The ITS is governed by representatives from 11 member states: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Poland, Great Britain, USA. The German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media funds the ITS.  Currently, the German Federal Archives is the institutional partner of the ITS.
