Take part and support us

Membership includes receiving the yearbook. Unfortunately we have been unable to produce it since 2025 for lack of staff. For one person the work takes about half a year. The annual membership fee has therefore been reduced substantially. We would be glad if people came forward to help produce the yearbook. With several people the effort is considerably smaller. We continue, as before, to preserve and support Jewish family research and Jewish history as a whole. Please contact us at any time if you have questions.
