Pages of Testimony preserve the memory of Jews who were murdered in the Shoah for eternity. Each Page records the victim's full name, date and place of birth, place of residence before the war, profession, parents' and spouse's names, and circumstances of death, as well as a photograph when available. The Pages are completed by survivors or their descendants, as well as friends or acquaintances of victims, and stored for perpetuity in Yad Vashem’s Hall of Names as public commemoration for the Jewish people and all of mankind.
The Central Database of Shoah Victims’ Names currently contains 4.8 million names.
Donations will be used to help fund Yad Vashem’s Shoah Victims’ Name Recovery Project, our Guardian of the Memory Project and Bar and Bat Mitzvah Twinning Programme.
