דער קערפער פֿון השם"When the #Nazis seized #Poland in 1939, Ilana Rosenbluth’s family fled to #Uzbekistan, where her grandfather peddled bolts of fabric used to make suits. Four years later, he boarded a train to #Andijan, a city known for textiles, and never returned.
What happened to her grandfather has plagued her family to this day, but a new initiative, #Histories and #Mysteries, launched last week by The Ackman & Ziff Family #Genealogy Institute at the Center for #Jewish #History, where Rosenbluth is director of communications, offers her hope of finding out.
The initiative, backed by a nearly $300,000 grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against #Germany, more commonly known as the #ClaimsConference, looks to solve #Holocaust-era family mysteries, posting the #research journey across #socialmedia, using both Jewish and non-Jewish #influencers to educate new audiences about the Holocaust."
