Q: Can you tell us more about the War for the Judge project and its goal in releasing this list?

“The War for the Judge project aims to uncover the truth about Dutch citizens who collaborated with the Nazi regime during WWII,” explained Dr. Janssen. “This list, while only a partial reveal, represents a crucial step towards acknowledging this painful part of our past.”

Q: There’s been a delay in making the entire CABR archive fully accessible. what are the reasons behind this decision?

“The CABR archive contains highly sensitive details,” Dr. Janssen clarified. “We are taking extra care to ensure that the privacy of individuals, both those named and their families, is protected. This meticulous process requires more time.”

Q: The CABR database will be accessible online starting January 2nd. What impact do you anticipate this will have on public understanding of the war period and its aftermath?

“We believe this open access to ancient records will foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of wartime collaboration,” responded Dr. Janssen. “ It will encourage critical reflection on the choices made during this turbulent period and its lasting consequences.”

Q: This release of names is sure to generate much discussion and possibly strong reactions. How do you think society should approach this sensitive topic?

“It is understandable that this information will evoke strong emotions,” acknowledged Dr. Janssen. “We encourage open and respectful dialog, recognizing the nuances and complexities surrounding wartime collaboration. This is an opportunity for us to learn from the past and strive to prevent such tragedies from happening again.”

WWII Collaboration Suspects Named in Newly Released Archive

A list of individuals suspected of collaborating with german forces during World War II has recently been made public. This information comes from the Central Archives for Special Legal Procedure (CABR), a complete repository of wartime documents. The individuals named in the list are deceased. The release of these names by the War for the Judge project sheds new light on a dark chapter in history. It offers a glimpse into the complex realities of wartime and the arduous choices faced by individuals living under occupation.

CABR Database: partial Access Starting January 2nd

Although a full, digitized version of the Criminal apprehension and Background Records (CABR) database was initially expected to be accessible by January, there has been a slight delay in making the entire archive public. However, starting January 2nd, individuals will be able to conduct online searches to determine if a specific suspect’s name is included in the CABR database. This means that while the complete digitized archive won’t be immediately available,the public will still gain partial access to this valuable resource. This partial accessibility is a meaningful step towards greater clarity and public access to crucial criminal justice information.
