My grandmother was of Jewish origin, lived all her life in Ukraine, went to a concentration camp during World War II, how do I find documents to restore a family tree?

In addition to Lt Col Charlie Brown's suggestion of Ancestry.com, you might want to start with the National Archive's Concentration Camp records* and the information that is at the Holocaust Museum*.

You can also look at fold3.com (part of Ancestry.com) - the information should be the same as that in the National Archives or the Holocaust Museum, but it's an easier interface. It is a paid service (like Ancenstry.com), but you can do a 7-day free trial and access the info to see if it has what you're looking for.

Some people have had good luck with the Mormon records out in Salt Lake City, Utah. They have an amazing database.
