Prenosimo članak sa WEB stranice www.terredisrael.com o suradnji između Yad Vashema i  "Google", koja je postignuta prilikom  Internacionalnog dana sjećanja na Holokaust.  Ta suradnja će omogućiti slobodan pristup , preko interneta , dokumentima i materijalima koje je muzej sakupio.

Da bi se ostvario taj projekt Google je indeksirao oko 130.000 fotografija i dokumenata iz lista i svjedočenja preživjelih. A tisuće dokumenata će biti i dalje registrirane na web stranici. 

Mnogi od tih dokumenata su i ranije bili dostupni  Yad Vashemu (osnovanom 50-tih godina) , neki su se mogli pogledati u muzeju ali  je prilaz "općoj publici " bio limitiran.Tako će tehnologija  pomoći istraživanja o sudbini nestalih rođaka i pomoći da se popune nepoznanice u arhivima.

Google joins the Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem

Yad Vashem has decided to partner with Google for the International Day for the memory of Holocaust victims, allowing users to access thousands of free online materials they can complete themselves.

The search engine Google launched Wednesday with the Israeli museum Yad Vashem Holocaust of a large project to facilitate public access to documents and photographs from the Nazi era. The project was unveiled on the eve of World Day of Remembrance in memory of six million Jewish Holocaust victims.

So that nothing is forgotten, those who search by entering the name of a victim on Google will be invited to add information they have on that person, for example by identifying photographs, told Reuters Yossi Matias, director of research and development for Google Israel. 

To launch the project, Google has indexed some 130,000 photographs and documents from visas to transport lists through the testimonies of survivors. Thousands of other documents can be recorded at a later stage. 

Many of these documents have long been available to the Yad Vashem museum, founded in the early 1950s, and some of them are also available at the museum, but for the general public, access was limited.

Google's technology should facilitate research on the fate of missing relatives and helping to fill blanks in the archives.
