We offer ...

We need your help!
Because historical research cannot be done from a desk alone, we are frequently visiting the Mecklenburg archives. However, the archives offer only a bureaucratically shaped view of the lives of former Mecklenburg residents. Much more important are the true stories, anecdotes, and life events that cannot be found in any archive. We are therefore constantly searching for photographs and documents about the former synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in Mecklenburg and Jewish residents of Mecklenburg, and not least for accounts of their experiences and fates. Ask your grandparents and great-grandparents, look through your shoeboxes, and let us share in this treasure.
