In preparation for Holocaust
Memorial Day (Yom HaShoah),
the World Jewish Restitution
Organization (WJRO) is launching
a month-long social media cam-
paign called #MyPropertyStory
to focus on survivors’
lives before
the Holocaust and show how their
homes, land, businesses or personal
possessions are important, power-
ful links to their past.
The campaign will continue
through Yom HaShoah on May
2. WJRO is asking Holocaust survi-
vors, their children, grandchildren,
extended families and others to
share and post their unique stories
on social media about life before
the Holocaust to shine a light on
the injustice suffered by millions
as a result of what was wrongfully
taken from them during the Shoah
and its aftermath. The campaign
will culminate on Yom HaShoah
with a gallery of photos, videos and
postings on wjro.org.il/
mypropertystory.
WJRO is asking participants
to post their stories through
videos, photos, statements or
drawings via Facebook, Twitter
and/or Instagram and include
#MyPropertyStory and tag @
WJRORestitution. For details, visit
wjro.org.il/mypropertystory, which
includes links to WJRO’
s social
media platforms, links to videos
and photos for reposting, and sam-
ple tweets and postings.
