Meticulous records, but no proof of Nazi gas chambers

Holocaust files have limits

Like other Holocaust victims, Noemi Ban has gone back numerous times to survey the ghostly field of chimneys at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration camp in Poland where she and her family arrived in July 1944, and she alone survived.

But Ban got an even more jolting glimpse into her past last May, when she visited the Holocaust archive in Bad Arolsen, a tranquil town in central Germany.
