Search by city non-camp, non-ghetto deaths

This will need its own page at some point, but it’s here for now.Weatherall-96 17:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Sticker format to allow for Wikitree Plus searches is: {{Holocaust Sticker|fate=victim|text=died in CITY}}

Search Testing

Note: you have to click "get profiles" on the left after opening the link.

• Death marches or with hyphen, makes no difference in results (4 found Jan 29 2024) link Weatherall-96 19:24, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
  • death-marches to Theresienstadt (has one profile, included in the above search) link
• Holocaust death march (4 profiles found 29 Jan 2024; one is not Holocaust-related) link - Weatherall-96 19:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
• This is a test to find death march victims… it only picked up the one I built the searcb around, and no others. Herman Ernest Muller (1917-1945) Makes sense since Austria wouldn’t be the usual place. DeathLocation=Austria d1945 Holocaust Weatherall-96 19:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
  • this search got more of what I was looking for: DeathLocation=Central Europe d1945 Holocaust

• How to search for people who died just after the war's end? For this profile Julia (Polak) Bolle (1914-1945), I added Bergen-Belsen Prisoners, and the sticker text fate=victim|text=died days after liberation If this wording were standardized, perhaps it could be picked up in WT+searches.
  • currently a WT+search with "died days after liberation" turns up 2 profiles: Julia Polak, and a living Wikitree member who has all the keywords in different stickers on her profile. (not all in the same sticker). This seems like an unusual case not likely to be repeated often, so this may be a good search. Weeks after liberation, Months after liberation, etc, could be used. 3 text variations would be easy enough to search for Weatherall-96 20:22, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
• fate tried to escape to the usa Weatherall-96 19:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Need to test:

• cases where the person is assumed to have died & location is not known, to ensure they are added to our complete victim list. Example: Spitz-219 I just added the Holocaust Sticker in addition to the already-present fate unknown category.Weatherall-96 15:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Searches for category fixes

These 2 camps are transit camps; we had Editbot add everyone to the new Prisoner category, and hand-edited these profiles who did die in that location. completed Jan 28: https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?Query=CategoryFull%3DHolocaust_Camps%2C_Westerbork+DeathLocation%3DWesterbork&MaxProfiles=500&Format= completed Jan 27: https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?Query=CategoryFull%3DHolocaust_Camps%2C_Amersfoort+DeathLocation%3DAmersfoort&MaxProfiles=500&Format=
