Since Yad Vashem's Names Database went online in November, 2004, there has been an urgent campaign to recover names of Holocaust victims www.yadvashem.org You are urged to encourage those you know to submit Pages of Testimony (and photos) to memorialize their loved ones. This can conveniently be done online. "Millions more names may be lost forever," warns Avner Shalev, Chairman of Yad Vashem.
