Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) starts tomorrow evening. For the past four years, I have listed the names of the family members I've found who were murdered in the Holocaust. In 2019, I listed 367 relatives. In 2020, I am listing 454.
Every year, this list grows as I find new branches of my family--and then find that multiple members of those branches were killed somewhere between 1941 & 1945. This year I found nearly 90 more people--and many other relatives whose fates are as yet unclear.
Publishing this yearly list is my one small way to make sure they are all remembered--all 454 of those currently on this list.
