Israel's Holocaust museum launched a website yesterday giving Internet users access to biographical information on 3 million Jews killed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, the most comprehensive database of its kind. The Yad Vashem museum's site, which will be formally unveiled today, digitizes the center's 50 years of work compiling information on Holocaust victims. The list, the largest and most detailed available, can be accessed in both English and Hebrew. The museum put some 1,500 people to work a decade ago, turning written testimony into digital information. Yad Vashem hopes to get data on as many of the 6 million Holocaust victims as possible.
