Dear Bukoviners,

This message was posted on the IAJGS Leadership Forum to which I am a

list as well.

On Monday, March 21, 2011, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
[USHMM} (Washington D.C.) launched "Remember Me?," an international campaign
that will engage the public by asking them to help the Museum identify 1,100
children who were orphaned, displaced, or separated from their families
during the Holocaust and World War II.

The "Remember Me?" integrated marketing campaign is the result of an
intensive team effort between the staffs of the Holocaust Survivors and
Victims Resource Center and the USHMM Marketing office to raise public
awareness about these young victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution.
The USHMM offices designed the project to use all of the Museum's marketing
tools to enlist the public's help in piecing together information about the
children's wartime and postwar experiences, and facilitate renewed
connections among these young survivors, their families, and other
individuals who were involved in their care during and after the war.

The "Remember Me?" campaign will also serve to increase awareness about the
Museum's Survivors and Victims Resource Center and the services it provides
to Holocaust survivors, their families, and other victims of Nazi
persecution.

The campaign's centerpiece is the "Remember Me?" Web site,
www.ushmm.org/rememberme , which features a gallery of images and makes it
easy for the public to submit information they might have about the children
pictured there. As the Museum offices learn more about each individual, the
associated Web site bio will be updated. The pictures, which come from the
Museum and other institutions, were taken after the war by relief agencies
in hopes of reuniting the children with their families.

Please visit the site and share it with your friends and family using the
social media tools provided (Facebook, Twitter, etc) .
