mained the Yizkor books, which became the memorials, while the physical sites of Jewish
homes and the places of their deaths lacked a visible presence of their lives as lived and ending.
Th
e Yizkor books on the internet are more accessible to a global network of interested people,

uania because they are not connected with it. Th
e local sites are hidden, possibly suppressed
memorials that few encounter, but they are signifi
cant partly because they are now known
about and publicized online.
