National Library Seeks Memorial Books from Bereaved Families

The National Library of Israel has launched an initiative appealing to bereaved families to donate memorial books they have created. These books, often compiled by families to commemorate fallen soldiers and terror victims, serve as personal testaments and historical records.

The library aims to preserve these unique documents, which contain personal stories, photographs, and memories, ensuring they are accessible for future generations. The call is part of a broader effort to collect and safeguard diverse aspects of Israeli heritage and collective memory.

Families interested in contributing can contact the National Library for details on how to donate their memorial books. The initiative highlights the library's role in preserving not only official historical records but also the deeply personal narratives that shape national identity.
