Names of men, women and children identified in the photographic display in the Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem
In creating the permanent exhibition for the new Holocaust History Museum, one of the many elements Yad Vashem sought to introduce was the emphasis on the fate of the individual during the Holocaust.
Identifying the men, women and children who appear in the photographic display restores names and identities to unknown faces, thereby rescuing them from anonymity. Since the new Museum was inaugurated in 2005, survivors and individuals have come forward and identified themselves, their relatives and acquaintances in the photographs on display.
This site presents the names of those who have been identified in the new Museum display.
In cases where the same individual has been identified differently by different people, all relevant identifications have been included.
