Thanks to a nonprofit, hundreds of virtually anonymous heroes who died in the Holy Land in 1948 and prior have been identified. Their stories and photos now preserve their memories.
TOI reports - Until Giving a Face to the Fallen (GFF) was established, details and/or the burial sites of 962 men and women who fought for Israel’s freedom from foreign rule from the 19th century through 1948 were unknown.
Most were faceless as well, with not a single known photo in existence.
But in 2010, Jerusalemites Dorit Perry and Uri Sagi began digging for information and, in 2013, founded GFF. As of today, 270 formerly unknown Israeli soldiers now have faces and known histories.
