THE YAD VASHEM PROJECT TO IDENTIFY DISPLACED CHILDREN

     Yad Vashem has 1,100 photographs of young children who were either displaced or orphaned by the Holocaust. The Museum has created an online display of these photographs in an effort to track down and identify the children in the photos. The Museum is asking for everyone to spread the word about the online display, in the hopes of reaching these children in order to preserve their stories and, perhaps, to reconnect families. View the display at the link below:
