Israeli traveler stumbles across forgotten Holocaust victims

During his post-army travels in Germany, Yahel Tzaida comes across an old Jewish cemetery and Holocaust memorial inscribed with victims' names. At least 20 names of these names had not been recorded in Yad Vashem's database.

"Yahel's experience shows us that collecting victims' names is not just the duty of the survivors or the second generation," said Yad Vashem Director Avner Shalev. "It is something that touches all of us."

Yad Vashem is continuing its campaign, calling on the public to fill out testimonials for Holocaust victims. It will provide volunteers to visit the homes of survivors to help them fill out the pages.
