The Holocaust Reunion Project
Empowering Holocaust Survivors and their children to find family and reclaim their histories through the power of DNA testing.
The mission of the Holocaust Reunion Project is to harness the power of commercial DNA testing, combined with expert genealogical research, both to reunite Holocaust survivors and their children with living relatives and to illuminate the family history that has been lost to genocide. DNA can unlock mysteries and make crucial connections, often linking survivors to living relatives they did not know they had. DNA matches can also open the door to help survivors reconstruct their shattered trees and reclaim their lost history, often reconnecting lines of communication severed by the Holocaust.
We distribute free DNA kits to Holocaust survivors and their children; provide free consultation services to survivors and their children; and offer educational opportunities to shed light on the possibilities of genetic genealogy for the survivor community.
Your donation will help us run the program, including providing DNA kits to Holocaust survivors and their children, ordering pertinent records for families, and hiring translators and local genealogists to optimize our research.
