Yad Vashem's Pages of Testimony

Instructions

The Pages of Testimony (symbolic tombstones) are intended to serve as a lasting memorial for the victims of the Holocaust. The details beyond names and places provide a “personality” for an identity, which would otherwise be lost in the coming generations. Accordingly, we require that:

Each victim of the Holocaust should be inscribed on a separate form. Please enter all information in BLOCK LETTERS. Ambiguous pages cannot be properly filed, and thus cannot be easily found.
A Page of Testimony is acceptable only if the family (or maiden) name is included. While many biographical details of the victim may not be known, the family name, the first name and last place of residence, should be submitted. Unknown spouses and children may be registered as (wife of / son of / daughter of etc.). All details, which are known or partially known, should be registered (e.g., about 50 years, 1895, infant/baby), and are better than a blank space.
Please SIGN and date the Pages of Testimony in the spaces specifically allots.
Please specify that the victim perished during the Holocaust, even if further details are not available. *e.g. Holocaust – details unknown / or not heard from after 1939).
The Pages of testimony are intended only for victims who perished during the Holocaust, not later than October 1945. Do not register those who survived the Holocaust.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Many names of Holocaust victims have not yet been recorded in the Hall of Names. In less than a generation there may be no one living who personally remembers the victims. Please FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATION by registering your dear ones. Interview your oldest living relatives for details on the victims before it is too late. There is no fee required for registration.

Once you have filled in your forms, address them to:
