The Archives of the International Prisoners-of-War Agency 1914-1919 – During the First World War, 10 million people, servicemen or civilians, were captured and sent to detention camps.  On 21 August 1914, the International Committee of the Red Cross established the International Prisoners-of-War Agency in Geneva, to which the warring States submitted, more or less regularly, lists of prisoners. The Agency received 400,000 pages of documents: lists of prisoners’ names and records of capture, of transfers between camps and of deaths in detention, which created an index card for each prisoner and detainee. Now, you can search through all 5 million of them.
