Civilian & Holocaust Genealogy & Research

Let me guide your family through the complex journey of understanding your civilian wartime history. Whether you're seeking to document a Holocaust survivor's experience, trace a family's path through occupation and resistance, or to understand how war shaped your ancestors' lives, I bring both professional expertise and profound respect to this deeply personal investigation.

Through my extensive international network of researchers, translators, and archival experts, I can often uncover information that families have struggled for generations to find. My connections span multiple countries and include specialized resources for Holocaust research, civilian displacement documentation, and genealogical investigation. This collaborative approach, combined with my own expertise in translating old German script and navigating international archives, allows me to piece together stories that might otherwise remain hidden.

What sets my research apart is my understanding of how civilian war experiences ripple through generations. I don't just collect facts - I help families understand emotional patterns, trace migration routes, and uncover the circumstances that shaped their ancestors' decisions. When investigating Holocaust histories, I work with specialized archives and survivor networks to document not just what happened, but how families maintained their humanity in the darkest circumstances.

Through this work, I've witnessed how understanding civilian war experiences can bring healing across generations. It will be an honor to help your family finally understand your history, and preserve these crucial stories for future generations.
