Help Recover Names of Holocaust Victims
Submit the names of Holocaust victims to Yad Vashem's Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names to ensure that they will be remembered for generations to come.

The Valley of the Communities at Yad Vashem
The Valley of the Communities in Yad Vashem is a massive 2.5 acre monument literally dug out of natural bedrock.

Today, in most cases, nothing remains but the name.
