The Baron de Hirsch cemetery in Montreal has 17 Holocaust memorials: JGS-Montreal.org/link/BdH-Memorials. These have been photographed and over 1900 names of the fallen with local (Montreal) ties have been entered by volunteers: Gary Perlman, Cindy Hershon, Daniel Zackon.

Yom HaShoah begins at sunset on Monday, April 20, 2020, so this seemed like a good time to share the information. Note that I am not knowledgeable on this subject; I just took the photos and organized the data entry. We hope that this information is useful to you.

Some features of the pages on the memorials:

• GPS: Each detailed record includes a GPS button that links to Google maps using precise coordinates of the memorial.
• Places: "Birth places" link to Google maps using today's names towns. Other town names link to many resources on the JewishGen.org locality page.
• Names: There is an option to show names, so all names can be viewed and searched on the same page. (This option excludes the names on the Canadian Jewish War Casualties, to allow focusing on Holocaust names.)
• Family and Towns: For some names, there are indications of additional family. Some names are accompanied by towns names.
• Research: The names on the detailed record pages link to the JGS-Montreal Genealogy Dashboard, which includes a link to search the Shoah Names Database at Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center. There you might find pages of testimony.
