Help us to Register Holocaust Survivors! The Survivors Registry of the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington DC maintains the single most comprehensive listing of Holocaust survivors in the world. The Registry has existed for over a decade, and currently contains approximately 172,000 names of Jewish survivors and their descendants. The Registry is an invaluable resource for survivors still trying to locate family and friends, as well as for historians and genealogists. The Registry defines as a survivor anyone displaced, persecuted, and/or discriminated against by the racial, political or ethnic policies of the Nazis or their allies from 1933 to 1945 and who survived the end of World War II. A Holocaust survivor can be registered even if he or she is no longer living today. It is important to make certain that each survivor's unique experience is recognized and preserved for future generations. Unfortunately, the window of opportunity for survivors to register is rapidly narrowing. If you are a member of a Jewish organization or if you know of individual survivors who may not be registered, please help us to spread the word! Post this notice or a copy of our registration form in your organization's newsletter, or simply inform survivors or their family members of your acquaintance about the Registry. Forms can be downloaded from our web page at http://www.ushmm.org/remembrance/registry We are most grateful for your assistance in this very important endeavor. If you have any questions, please contact me at lgreen@ushmm.org Laura M. Green Collections Manager Survivors Registry
