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.
