Mourning for Dr. habil. Edith Raim
On July 1, 2025, Dr. habil. Edith Raim died in Landsberg am Lech after a serious illness.
Since 2024, she has worked full-time for our project as academic director. With great energy and conviction, she dedicated herself to the task of making a central part of her life’s work accessible in the form of digital public history. Her profound expertise, her analytical clarity and her human approach shaped the project in a special way.
At the request of the relatives, the publication and our obituaries only took place after the funeral.
We are deeply saddened by this loss. Her legacy obliges us.

Download Digital Atlas of NS Crimes
The digital atlas collects cases of Nazi injustice at thousands of locations in Germany and enables citizens to research the sources for the respective crime scenes. For the first time, the Digital Atlas of Nazi Crimes offers a freely accessible and geo-referenced map showing the respective crimes and crime scenes. This research tool provides comprehensive information on the documented crimes committed by the National Socialists in Germany between 1933 and 1945. Through cooperation with existing data collections, the project is continuously being expanded and improved to ensure an even more precise and comprehensive presentation of the historical crimes.
As part of the educational agenda on Nazi injustice, the EVZ Foundation is supporting the development of an innovative smartphone app that makes the locations of Nazi crimes visible on a digital map. This app is based on extensive sources that document the crimes and crime scenes in detail. Around 25,000 court files document various crimes and their crime scenes, including concentration camps, prisons, clinics, torture cellars and everyday places. In addition to these files, other sources on the Holocaust document the scenes of Nazi crimes, including archives such as the Yad Vashem Memorial, the Arolsen Archives and the Central Office in Ludwigsburg.
Participate and help shape
Between 1933 and 1945, numerous crimes were committed at thousands of locations in Germany. The “Nazi Crimes Atlas – Digital Atlas of Nazi Crimes” provides basic information on the crime scenes, the deeds and the sources. You can use this atlas to research the events, investigate the background and prepare the stories for your remembrance work and publish them in the Nazi Crimes Atlas.
