The Names Database is a work in progress and may contain errors that shall be corrected in the near future.

My grandfather came to the US from Lithuania around 1910-1915, leaving behind 1 sister and 5 brothers. He brought one of his brothers to this country before the war.  One brother survived and came after the  war.  I explored the names database of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum online  and found the records of the deaths of his 3 other brothers.  The document in  Hebrew is the record documenting the death of my great uncle Shalom Baraker.  The second attachment is a translation provided by the museum.  The woman listed as the  witness was my Dad's cousin who survived the war and immigrated to Haifa in the  1960's and whom I met during my second visit to Israel in 1985. Anyone can search through the Museum's digital data base at http://db.yadvashem.org/names/search.html?language=en to find records relating to people who were killed during the Holocaust.

Finding family members in the Yad Vashem database must be a sobering experience. Thanks for posting your story and the link to the database.
