The question is whether we should include in the project just those who lost their lives in the holocaust, or all holocaust victims.
For the last ten or so years, the first paragraph of the project's description was
This project's mission is to list the names of the victims of the Nazis during the Holocaust to show that these victims are not just an anonymous mass, but were, and some still are, millions of human beings with names, relationships and personal biographies.
I interpret the words "and some still are" to intend "all holocaust victims, regardless of how/when they died".
Perhaps we should change it to "and a few still are".
