Partnering Projects

Yad Vashem is working with organizations worldwide to implement community based 11th hour campaigns to gather and commemorate names of Holocaust victims.

Here we highlight our partnership with The Association of Jewish Refugees.

The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) has joined Yad Vashem’s 11th Hour Names Recovery Campaign by calling on its 3,500 members to submit names of Holocaust victims at this urgent hour. The AJR, which provides social, welfare and financial assistance to Holocaust survivors and refugees in Great Britain, is raising awareness for the campaign in its nationwide Regional Groups, its monthly Journal and its website www.ajr.org.uk. To date, 330 names have been submitted as a result of the AJR effort.

The AJR places great importance on providing its members with the opportunity to commemorate their loved ones who have been lost in the Holocaust and encourages them to do so during member gatherings.

AJR members have received Pages of Testimony and assistance is available completing the forms is available through the AJR’s dedicated social care department and the AJR’s volunteer team.

Founded in 1941 by Jewish refugees from central Europe, the AJR has accumulated more than 60 years’ experience attending to the needs of Holocaust refugees and survivors who came to Britain before, during and after the Second World War.

Today, membership is extended to all Jewish victims of Nazi persecution, their spouses, children and grandchildren.
