Fill the void

A collaborative website for the memory and commemoration of IDF fallen soldiers. Each user can add their own piece of memory and together complete the life puzzle of the victim.

The problem

Too many soldiers were killed during their service in the Israeli Defense Forces, each one of them was a whole world. After their death an empty space remained for their family and friends. In most cases the family is interested in discovering all information, memories and stories related to their dead loved one and want to commemorate them. Over the years they try to collect memories but a lot of memories are missing, scattered in several places or just forgotten over time.

Target Audience

Main | Parents who lost their soldier son.
Second | Family, friends and acquaintances of the victim from all periods of his life.
Third | Interested people without personal acquaintance with the victim.

the solution

Collecting and organizing all stories, experiences and memories in one place. The platform gives a place for everyone who knew the victim, from his best friend to his second grade teacher. In this collaborative way, you can get to know new stories about them and the different sides they had. On the one hand, the project provides space for personal memory and on the other hand to an important national memory - to give faces to the soldiers, while focusing on those who were there during their lives and the continuation of their legacy.
