Holocaust–Databases
Yad Vashem Launches Online Database Of 3 Million Holocaust Victims’ Names
+ Facts About The Database
“Two-thirds of the names in the Database were obtained from the more than two million Pages of Testimony submitted to Yad Vashem over the past 50 years, nearly all of which have now been digitized. Other names have been gleaned from additional computerized lists, including deportation, camp and ghetto records. With a click, users can view and print Pages of Testimony, or a screen containing a victim’s personal story, based on information from archival sources available in the Database. Each such ‘mini-biography’ further links to information about the particular victim, such as the places he/she lived and died, related historical events and more.”

From press release: “The new report, which also features input from the Gerontological Society of America, says that despite the proven health benefits of physical activity, one-third of older adults are not taking part in any leisure-time physical activities. Additionally, two-thirds of older adults are not eating the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And nearly one-fifth of older adults are obese, which is defined as at least 30 pounds above recommended weight.”
