“The living owe it to those who no longer can speak to tell their story for them.”

  • Czeslaw Milosz (1911–2004); Polish writer; 1980 Nobel Literature prizewinner; “The Issa Valley” (1955 novel)

I recently encountered a short article entitled “In Memoriam: Healthcare Workers Who Have Died of COVID-19.”

Listed were more than 100 names, with accompanying age, occupation and location. The article solicited submissions from readers in order to keep information current. The intention of the providing website is to update the list periodically.
