Yad Vashem Honors Holocaust Victims By AlpLocal News January 24, 2020 JERUSALEM – Yad Vashem honors the victims of the Holocaust through the IRemember Wall project. Yad Vashem and Facebook have partnered to remember the victims via an online commemorative platform connecting the public with men, women, and children murdered by the Nazis in Nazi Germany and those whose collaborated with them. Yad Vashem honors the victims of the Holocaust during the annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, so designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005. Yad Vashem and Facebook honors the Holocaust victims with this special project. This IRemember Wall project on Facebook, connects participants with what really happened in Nazi Germany. Over 700,000 Facebook users in 149 countries were able to connect with this history. IRemember Wall and Yad Vashem helps preserve this history for future generations. Yad Vashem has a database with the names of four and a half million of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. After the names of participants are randomly matched with the actual victims, their names are posted on IRemember Wall, now in English, French, German, Hebrew, Russian, and Spanish. History of Holocaust Remembrance Day On May 3, 1951, the first officially organized Holocaust Remembrance Day event was held at the Chamber of the Holocaust on Mount Zion; the Israel Postal Service issued a special commemorative envelope, and a bronze statue of Mordechai Anielewicz, the leader of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt, was unveiled at Yad Mordechai, a kibbutz named for him. From the following year, the lighting of six beacons in memory of the six million Jews killed by the Nazis became a standard feature of the official commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day. The actual date is set in accordance with the Hebrew calendar, on 27 Nisan, Date: 27th day of Nisan, (in 2019 the date begins at sunset, May 1 – and ends at nightfall, May 2.) so that it varies in regard to the Gregorian calendar. Observance of the day is moved back to the Thursday before, if 27 Nisan falls on a Friday (as in 2021), or forward a day, if 27 Nisan falls on a Sunday. Yom HaShoah opens in Israel at sundown in a state ceremony held in Warsaw Ghetto Square at Yad Vashem. Yom HaShoah Preserves the Memory Yom Hazikaron laShoah ve-laG’vurah in Hebrew or Yom HaShoah and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day is held on the 27th of Nisan this year. On Yom HaShoah, ceremonies and services are held at schools, military bases and by other public and community organizations. In Israel, Yom HaShoah is observed by all.

Utvrđen identitet dvije trećine žrtava holokausta Od šest milijuna ubijenih Židova, poznata su imena dvije trećine stradalih, većinom iz zapadne Europe Izraelski memorijalni centar žrtvama holokausta Yad Vashem objavio je u ponedjeljak da je identificirao gotovo dvije trećine od šest milijuna Židova koje su ubili nacisti i njihovi suradnici u Drugom svjetskom ratu. Poimeničan popis stradalih u holokaustu udvostručio se u posljednjih deset godina, s dva na četiri milijuna, rekao je direktor arhiva Yad Vashema Haim Gertner. "Proces digitalizacije nam je jako pomogao", dodao je Gertner. Priznao je, međutim, da nije vjerojatno da će centar uspjeti identificirati sve žrtve. "Oko 90 posto imena Židova ubijenih u zapadnoj Europi nam je poznat, ali je istočna Europa potpuno druga priča", rekao je Gertner. U Poljskoj je tako poznat identitet polovine od ubijenih tri milijuna Židova. U Bjelorusiji je poznata četvrtina žrtava. Yad Vashem u Jeruzalemu posjeduje najveću arhivu o holokaustu, sa 130 milijuna dokumenata, 385 tisuća fotografija, 2,2 milijuna stranica svjedočanstava i oko 200 tisuća sati audio i vizualne dokumentacije.(hina/metro-portal)
