  • 2016-today:
    Research projects on geni.com to document the families of Jewish men, women and children who were deported from the state of Thuringia in two major deportations in 1942. In the first deportation in May 1942, over 500 Jews were deported from towns and villages in Thuringia to the Belzyce ghetto in the Lublin district, and in the second deportation in September 1942 to the Theresienstadt ghetto. To date, over 3000 profiles have been created in the database and contacts have been made with family members all over the world.
