A way for the world to commemorate victims of the holocaust where they lived: Zikaron holocaust commemoration


זיכרון Zikaron

Enabling the commemoration of victims of the Shoah.

Where they lived. Where they suffered. Where they were murdered.

Zikaron – “remembrance” in Hebrew – participates in the world’s two main projects of individualized commemoration of Holocaust victims: the Stolpersteine and Faces for the Names.

Zikaron raises awareness of the Holocaust and its lessons for today’s world. Zikaron’s team speaks on the Holocaust and Judaism in schools, youth centers, concentration camps and inter-faith gatherings in Europe and in Israel.
