[DavidDvorkin]

Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial institution in Jerusalem has a searchable database of Holocaust victims. They just passed 5,000,000 names and have some hope of being able to recover 250,000 of the remaining one million.

I searched the database and found the names of my mother's mother and teenage sister:

In 1941, the Jews were massacred by an Einsatzgruppen. Different mass executions occurred. One of them was in August 22, 340 women and children were murdered while the Jewish men were taken to the railway station of Viduklė for slave work, where they were later killed.
