International Holocaust Remembrance Day


Today is the day that the United Nations has recognized as International Holocaust Remembrance Day; it is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.  The World Memory Project will celebrate our 5th anniversary in a few months – in that time millions of records have been indexed by thousands of contributors.  Currently there are 21 USHMM collections available to search on Ancestry.com – these records can be ordered through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The following projects are available to index:

And new today…

Thank you to all our contributors who have contributed to the World Memory Project!
