How long does Namen Lezen ("Reading the Names") take?
The reading of the names will take approximately 140 hours.
The previous editions were called De 102,000 Namen Lezen (“Reading 102,000 Names") why is the 2025 edition called Namen Lezen?
For the 2025 edition, we chose to read the names of a broader group of victims, which increases the number to 103,124. This is why we changed the name of the commemoration.

The names are read in alphabetical order. In this document you can search for names and see in which ten-minute period they will be read. To find specific names, use CTRL + F and enter full names.
