Top 8 Resources for Jewish Genealogy in Germany

Presenter: Sabine Akabayov. Jewish genealogical research in Germany differs significantly from researching protestants and Catholics due to the distinct legal, social, and religious status of Jews over the centuries, which shaped the types of records created and preserved. This presentation introduces the Top 8 Resources for Jewish Genealogy in Germany, offering a roadmap to the most essential repositories and tools for uncovering Jewish family history. We will examine vital registers, databases, local, regional, and international archives, as well as international Holocaust-related collections and Jewish cemeteries, which often preserve genealogical information that is unavailable elsewhere.
