Zachor — remember
In memory
Members of the family who perished in the Holocaust, and those the records show survived it. Each is named with their relation to Papi or Babi, the date and place the records give, and the source. Nothing more is said of how they died.
“These are the names we keep.” Dates and places are as the records give them; where two records differ, both are shown.
