When lighting your candle, we respectfully ask you to:
• Focus on and imagine their LIFE – before they became victims. Their name, face and identity that the Holocaust attempted to erase.
• Emphasize how we are securing a better future for all, by remembering.
• Consider your personal responsibility to actively :
– collect names
– commemorate the lives lost
– participate in building our collective memory
– create the torchbearers of the future.

Glimpse into the life of a person by reading about their life on your candle label AND by scanning the QR code, accessing more information about their life story.

We are committed :

• To further instill this custom within the diverse global Jewish communities
• To increase the database of Names Remembered until every perished is remembered
• To develop more interactive activities as well as lesson plans for participants of all ages

Thank you to all the organization’s (Shem Vener – Our6Million.org) members, volunteers & schools for your support in contributing to the success of this tradition, especially during the first years.
