Gathering the Fragments is the name of a campaign organized by Yad Vashem to collect personal artifacts from the years before World War II, during the Holocaust, from life in the DP camps, and the immediate post-war period.[1]
Items being collected include memoirs, testimonies, names, film and video footage, artworks, letters, documents, artifacts, diaries, and photographs. 71,000 such items have been donated to Yad Vashem during the campaign.[2]
An exhibition showcasing the campaign and some of the items collected opened at Yad Vashem on International Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2013.[3]
