• 2016-present:
  Research projects on geni.com to document the families of the Jewish men, women, and children who were deported from the state of Thüringen in two major deportations of  1942. In May 1942, the first deportation transported over 500 Jews from cities, towns, and villages in Thüringen to Belzyce Ghetto in the Lublin District; in September 1942, the second deportation carried Thüringen Jews to Theresienstadt Ghetto. To date, over 3000 profiles have been developed in the database and contacts established with family members throughout the world.
