Answer 8

I have a gedom with about 3000 - 4000 people entered by a friend of ours, now deceased. His name was Polak and a lot of his relatives were murdered in Sobibor. He spent a lot of time doing the research. I have decided to move my database to wikitree, and would love to find someone (or more) to take over his part of the gedcom and photos. (We were only slightly related via a step-parent.)

Answer 17

Hello, I just got your request for the Holocaust Project. My husband doesn't have any close family, but I have found a family of distant cousins that were all murdered at Auschwitz. I don't think there are any direct survivors.

Anywho, I have photos of them, if you would like to a copy of them.

I would like to join this project. Regions I am most interested are Germany, Austria / France, Italy / Poland, Russia, Belorus.

I can read English, German, French, Italian, Russian and Polish. I can speak Geman, English. French and a bit of Italian and Russian.

Wonderful. Don't tell everyone your languages, you will get more translation requests than you can handle! Seriously, thanks so much for joining up. You have the badge and I sent you a message.

Thanks a lot for your friendly advice and the badge. In the moment I am learning Hebrew/Yiddish letters, which is helpful to transliterate Yad Vashem Pages of Testimony. If you aren't too busy, please see: [[Pszenny-3]]. Ajzik is the grandfather of my schoolmate. I am happy to be able to be part of these ambitious projects (Auschwitz 2025, too.) Best wishes, Eva [[Gawlik-25]]

Great. I can easily read the block letters but am still learning the script. It's not that hard, I just need to sit and focus for a while! That's definitely a great skill to have because Yad Vashem often has "uncle" instead of "nephew", etc, so it's great to see the original.

I fully agree!
