Judges' report

The Jewish Historical Museum was nominated by the panel of judges for the BankGiro Lottery Museum Prize in part because of its successful launch of the Jewish Monument Community, an interactive website where visitors can look up lost relatives, get involved in discussions, and contribute information and objects to the museum collection.

Everyone who casts a vote for the Museum Prize 2013 will have a chance of winning an iPad mini or a three-day city trip to Istanbul, organized by Corendon Vliegvakanties.
