Yad Vashem Identifies Names of 5 Million Holocaust Victims, Honoring Their Legacy

Yad Vashem has identified the names of 5 million Holocaust victims, honoring their legacy and providing families with a connection to lost histories, particularly for the Jewish community.

In a significant development, Yad Vashem announced it has identified the names of 5 million victims of The Holocaust, enhancing the remembrance of those lost during this tragic period.
Hinda Koza-Culp, a descendant of Holocaust victims, used an online database last year to discover her great-grandmothers family names, underscoring the importance of preserving Jewish history.
Yad Vashem utilizes advanced artificial intelligence technology to facilitate the identification of names, ensuring that the legacy of victims of Nazism is honored and remembered in Israel.

Why It Matters

This initiative by Yad Vashem not only provides closure for many families but also reinforces the importance of remembering the atrocities of The Holocaust, serving as a reminder of the dangers of hatred and discrimination.
