Shoah-Holocaust Tutorials

Introduction

Holocaust

An Oma (Grandmother) and children - Auschwitz


To begin let me say…

Holocaust research is in many ways similar to other genealogical research, but in other ways it is quite unique. For the purpose of these tutorials, I will not focus on every aspect of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis during and before WW2; I will concentrate on crucial populations and aspects of the holocaust. My focus will be on some of the largest populations targeted by the National Socialists (Nazis) for elimination/ extermination/ removal.
