Bonjour Catherine,

It’s difficult to answer this question without further information, such as what type of document you refer to. Perhaps a [CLI card](https://eguide.arolsen-archives.org/en/archive/details/central-location-index-card)? These „applicants“ are searching for the persons the card is about.  
(click on the card for more explanations)

Here is an [overview](https://eguide.arolsen-archives.org/en/) of the different kinds of documents stored in Arolsen

Here you could search for names and topics yourself:  
[Arolsen online archives](https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/en/search)  
this [ENC-Forum](https://talk.arolsen-archives.org/search?q=Wasser)  
the „old“ [zooniverse ENC Forum](https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/arolsen-archives/every-name-counts/talk/search?query=Wasser)

You can also send a [request](https://arolsen-archives.org/fr/archives/demande/) to the Arolsen Archives.

Maybe you also find this [Pinwand thread](https://talk.arolsen-archives.org/t/research-help-recherche-hilfe/16052) helpful (various databases are linked there)

I’m forwarding your question to the Arolsen team.  
Kind regards to France!
