Pages of Testimony

Guidelines

Guidelines for Submission

Please submit Pages of Testimony to Yad Vashem only for Holocaust victims.

In 2004, Yad Vashem has loosely defined Holocaust victims as 'Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis or their accomplices during the years of Nazi power, i.e. 1933-1945. Many non-Jews were also murdered at the same time, but they are counted as victims of Nazism, not as Shoah victims. This is because of the Nazis unique drive to annihilate all of the Jews. Jews who fell as soldiers in the Allied armies are generally not regarded as Shoah victims, but rather as soldiers killed in war. Jews who lived under Nazi rule and engaged in armed resistance, however, are counted as Shoah victims if they fell. Jews who survived until the liberation but could no longer heal are considered victims if they died within six months of liberation (the end of October 1945).'

Following are some guidelines:
  1. Each victim of the Holocaust should be registered on a separate Page of Testimony.
  2. While many biographical details may not be known about the victim, the Page of Testimony must have at least the family name or the first name in order to be included in Yad Vashem's registry.
  3. Pages of Testimony are intended only for victims who perished during the Holocaust period. See further for the 'Holocaust Periods' to get more detailed information on the country/year basis.
