Survivor Memoirs: Publishing Your Memoir and Finding a Place of Honor for It at the Library of Yad Yashem

This post is a special notice for Holocaust survivors: Many of you took upon yourselves the enormous task of writing your memoirs. This is of great value to all of us, and even more so for future generations that will not have the privilege of personally knowing a survivor. I have often been asked if I could help make the right connections in order to get your precious records published, or to make sure they are kept in the right place so they don’t get lost and are available where future generations and researchers can access them....
