Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) starts this evening. Last year on Yom Hashoah, I listed the names of the nearly 100 family members I knew of who were killed in the Holocaust. This year, I mention them again--as well as over 150 additional family members whose death I found evidence of over the past year.
It's been rather disconcerting (to say the least) to find vital records identifying another branch of my family--and then trace those relatives forward in time to find that all or most had been murdered during the Holocaust. This is my one small way to make sure they are all remembered--all 259 of those currently on this list.
May their memories be for a blessing. יהי זכרם ברוך.

How many Pages of Testimony?
ReplyDeleteProbably 80%+. Many of them I found because they had pages.
DeleteThank you for remembering and sharing their names.
ReplyDeleteA terrible, terrible time in history. May they all RIP.
ReplyDeleteI must do this one year...Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI also need to do this. My list also keeps growing. Fortunately, I also keep finding family members who somehow escaped or survived. In any of those circumstances, whether they were killed or survived, their lives were irrevocably changed and scarred forever.
ReplyDeleteMay they all rest in peace. I have not yet found records for my family members that perished in the Holocaust. Are there specific online places where I can research them? Thanks, Lois
ReplyDeleteYad Vashem, Fold3 and USHMM are good places to start.
DeleteThanks so much; I'm off to check.
DeleteI went out on Yad Vashem and found the family of who I believe to be a great uncle. Do you know if it is possible to contact the people who have posted the names, and if so, where can I learn about doing so. Thanks again!
DeleteThere's usually an address, but it may have been filled out years ago. You just need to use detective skills to try to find a current address.
DeleteA great idea to memorialize the kedoshim............
