• Family History Research

I have been conducting research and teaching at a university in Germany for 25 years. I have long studied the Nazi era, Nazi ideology, and the methods of persecution. In this context, I have learned to critically question prejudices about people, to read between the lines in both private and official documents, and to thoroughly verify facts. 

I would like to put what I have learned in my academic work to your benefit. 

I research family history and create family trees. But I also examine every piece of information to see what can be gleaned about the people, their relationships, and the context of their lives.

I look forward to putting my knowledge and expertise at your service.
