LET NO HOLOCAUST VICTIM BE FORGOTTEN
 HELP RECOVER THEIR NAMES TODAY
If you know of individuals from your family or community of origin who perished in the Holocaust, SEARCH the Database: www.yadvashem.org, to check if they have already been memorialized. SUBMIT unrecorded names on Pages of Testimony, which are available here (547KB PDF), via Fax: +972-2-644-3579, or Email: central.datobase@yadvashem.org.il
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAGES OF TESTIMONY
Before filling out a Page of Testimony, search the online Names Database at www.yadvashem.org for victims known to you.
1. Use the “Feedback forms” on the site to add information or photographs to an existing victims' record.
2. Click “Submit New Names” on the Names Database search page to submit information on Victims for whom no Page of Testimony exists (even if the names appear on archival lists). Pages of Testimony may also be filled out by hand.
3. Complete a separate Page of Testimony for EACH victim, including children. Additional forms may be photocopied, downloaded from the site, or requested from Yad Vashem.
4. The minimum required information is: the victim's first and family names (or maiden name) and the name of the place of permanent residence or birth. Additional details are welcome. Write the names as close to their original spelling as possible, in Latin characters.
5. If a child's name is unknown write 'unknown" in the “Victim's First Name” field, specify gender and parents' names, and write boy / girl / child in the “Victim's Family Status” field.
6. When available, submit a photograph of the victim, or send a high-resolution scanned image.
7. If circumstances of death are unknown, write: “Died / Killed during the Holocaust” in the “Circumstances of death” field.
8. Write in pen, in clear, block letters.
9. Sign and date each completed Page of Testimony, and mail the ORIGINAL signed copy unfolded to: Yad Vashem, Hall of Names, P.O. B 3477, Jerusalem 91034, Israel
Please note:
• You do not have to be a relative of the victim to complete a Page of Testimony for him or her,
• Testimonies given to organizations other than Yad Vashem are probably NOT in the Names Database.
• Pages of Testimony are intended to memorialize Jews who perished DURING the Holocaust, or at liberation in the months immediately following the end of WWIF. Victims of anti-Jewish persecution who survived the war should be registered on survivor forms (163KB PDF).
