No technical skills required, beyond the ability to use Zoom! Best, Become part of an international community that actively helps build the largest digital memorial to the victims of National Socialism. During this 48 hour challenge, we will help index documents from the Central Location Index (CLI) at Yad Vashem, which have never been indexed before. It’s very easy to join in. You don’t need any special knowledge to take part. During this event, Giora Zwilling, Deputy Head of Archives, gives us a tour through the Arolsen Archives. Then we will roll up our sleeves and actively enter data, guided and assisted by Elizabeth Berkowitz, Executive Director of the American Trust for the British Library in New York and Katharina Menschick, Research and Education Department in Arolsen. Introduced by Rachel Stern, Director and CEO of the Fritz Ascher Society in New York. Elizabeth Berkowitz is an art historian specializing in modern art historiography, pre-World War II European painting, and digital humanities strategies. Her writings have appeared in both popular and academic publications, and she has extensive experience as an educator and program developer for universities and cultural organizations. Elizabeth was previously the Fritz Ascher Society’s Digital Interpretation Manager for grant-based projects and is currently the Executive Director of the American Trust for the British Library. REGISTER FOR THE ZOOM EVENT HERE The entire Central Location Index (CLI) collection contains 1,200,000 index cards and 250,000 documents, and it has never been indexed before. The data generated during the challenge will be made available in the online archive of the Arolsen Archives as well as in the database of Yad Vashem. The Central Location Index (CLI) was an umbrella organization based in New York that coordinated the search for missing relatives – Jewish and non-Jewish – between 1944 and 1949. Most of the organizations who joined together under this banner to concentrate their efforts were American, but some came from other parts of the world. Before very long, the new organization had become one of the leading tracing agencies for missing relatives. For this indexing challenge, we are collecting basic information about the missing persons recorded on the cards: e.g. their name, date of birth, place of birth, or profession. The cards also show the last known whereabouts of the person concerned, the details of the person who filed the tracing request at the time, and information on where surviving relatives might be found. Help us index 20,000 documents in 48 hours, between 12:00pm on Jan. 26 and 12:00pm on Jan. 28! Every number, every place, and every name you type in on the crowdsourcing platform will help preserve the memory of the persecutees – and make sure we never forget what happened to them. START PARTICIPATING HERE The documents contain real information about real people, many of them who were murdered by the German Nazis and their collaborators just because they were Jewish. The Holocaust victims are memorialized at the World Holocaust Remembrance Center Yad Vashem. The Central Database of Shoah Victims’ Names currently commemorates over 4,800,000 name. Each International Holocaust Remembrance Day Yad Vashem offers the public the opportunity to remember individual victims one at a time. Join the IRemember Wall from any computer or hand held device anywhere on the globe and help us remember each and every victim. JOIN THE IREMEMBER WALL AT YAD VASHEM #everynamecounts is an initiative of the Arolsen Archives that aims to build a digital memorial to the victims of Nazi persecution, so that future generations will
