Yahad – In Unum is in a race against time. We are continuing our critical field investigations to collect the testimonies of the last living witnesses of the Holocaust by Bullets and we need your help to get over the line.

Many witnesses are now of advanced age, making the urgent collection of their narratives a crucial matter of time and logistics.
Your support is vital to sustain the continuity and urgency of these investigations - allowing us to research, preserve, and educate.

This every contribution directly supports this ongoing, urgent historical documentation.
