It is estimated that six million Jews were victims of the Holocaust.

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS. IN 2019 WITH THE HELP OF CAMP RECORDS AND YAD VASHEM WE WERE ABLE TO CORRECT THE YARZHEIT OF MY MOTHERS FATHER ZL. AT THAT TIME WE BEGAN A CAMPAIGN TO GET PEOPLE TO RECORD MARTYRS THEY KNEW OF. I STILL KNOW PEOPLE WHO JUST NEVER GET TO IT. WE WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL TO SURVIVORS, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN OF SURVIVORS ETC, IF THEY HAVE A STORY, HAVE JUST A LAST NAME AND COUNTRY, WHETHER THEY ARE MISSING OR KNOWN DEAD, EITHER WAY. GO TO YVNG.YADVASHEM.ORG AND FILL OUT A PAGE OF TESTIMONY WHICH IS THE HALACHIC EQUIVALENT OF A MATZEIVA AND LIMITS THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE NAZIS AND THEIR COLLABORATORS TO EVEN BLOT OUT MEMORY OF REAL LIVE HUMANS LIKE US. PLEASE DO IT FOR THIS YOM HASHOAH. THANK YOU. FEIGIE TEICHMAN

YAD VASHEM INCLUDED IN THIS STATEMENT THE PROBLEM OF THE TESTIMONIES OFTEN JUST ADDING THAT IT WAS THIS PERSON WITH BABIES, SO BABIES ARE UNDERREPRESENTED. MY MOTHER AMUSH HAS BEEN CONCERNED WITH THE STORIES IN SLOVAKIA OF BABIES AND TODDLERS BEING TAKEN BY SLOVAK GENTILES FOR PAYMENT FROM EASTERN SLOVAKIA ACROSS THE BORDER TO HUNGARY TO SAVE THEM FROM THE DEPORTATIONS, AND THAT MANY WERE MURDERED BY THE GENTILES TO AVOID THE JOURNEY AND KEEP THE MONEY. I JUST CHECKED WITH USHMM AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT UNLESS THESE CASES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY THE FAMILIES THAT EXPERIENCED IT, IT IS DIFFICULT FOR YAD VASHEM TO INCLUDE THEM. IF ANYONE HERE HAS A FAMILY STORY THAT INVOLVES THESE BABIES, PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO MAKE A PAGE OF TESTIMONY, EVEN IF GENDER AND FIRST NAMES UNKNOWN, IF YOU DONT KNOW THE LAST NAME EITHER, PLEASE CONTACT YADVASHEM HALL OF NAMES AND EXPLAIN THE STORY TO SEE IF THEY CAN USE IT TO INCLUDE IN HALL OF NAMES AND IF YOU HAVE THE JEWISH NAMES OF THESE BABIES, THEIR FIRST NAMES AND THEIR FATHERS JEWISH NAMES, PLEASE CONTACT ME AND WE WILL ARRANGE A KADDISH IF ONE WAS NEVER MADE AND THERE IS NO ONE ABLE OR WILLING TO MAKE IT. THANK YOU. FEIGIE TEICHMAN
