Yad Vashem Name Recovery Project

Since 1955, Yad Vashem has worked to fulfill its mandate to preserve the memory of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust by collecting their names, the ultimate representation of a person’s identity. Millions of victims remain unidentified. Yad Vashem urgently calls upon Jewish communities to recover their names through a worldwide Names Recovery Project. Unless we assume collective responsibility for completing this vital mission, some of them may be lost forever. This is a race against time, before those who remember them are no longer with us.

For more information visit Yad Vahem's Remembrance Page.

Selected Quotes from Past Participants

Probably the Holocaust Remembrance ceremony, and the hike up Masada [had the most lasting impact on me]. Honestly, it was quite overwhelming for me, to have less than 24 hours between being in a concentration camp that could be operational in a day’s time, to being in the land of life for the Jewish people. I know – It was the plane ride to Israel. Sitting there, so close to such life, and coming from such sorrow, knowing we had prevailed, but not knowing how to cope with such loss. I sat with a boy, who I liked, and talked torah and life. Super cliché, but very meaningful to me.
