Zachor — Remember
יהי זכרם ברוך · May their memory be a blessing.
🕯
In memory of the members of the family who were murdered in the Holocaust, and of those who survived it. Each name is given with the relationship, the date and place as the records state them, and the record it rests on.
Only people already proven or graded on the family tree are listed; a name still being checked is marked pending. Nothing here is a guess.
