Remember Sambor Genealogy

Today, on Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives so we can live in freedom.

Last week, I stood on French soil alongside and the .de , German War Graves Commission, to honor six fallen German-Jewish soldiers from WWI—men who had been buried under crosses, though they lived and died as Jews.

Meier Levi, Julius Loewenstein, Moses Cohen, Eduard Moses, Friedrich Rahmer, and Siegmund Metzler. Their names are now etched into a new monument that reflects their true identity and the faith they lived by.

It was the first ceremony under a new initiative called Operation Levi—a mission to restore Jewish dignity even after a century. I had the privilege of helping uncover some of these names and be in touch with their families.

There is no statute of limitations on gratitude. May their memories be a blessing.

A little more background about how the Nathan Baskind discovery came about. Grateful to have played a role in this amazing story - a testament to resilience and honor. From discovering his burial site to the incredible efforts of @operationbenjamin, the DNA testing to identify his remains and finally to be able to give him a proper Jewish burial. #FindingNathan #OperationBenjamin #NormandyHeroes #nathanbaskind

Happy clients are what it’s all about….

We researched Jason's family in America and Poland and were able to uncover tons of information that he didn't know about, including the burial places of his great-great-grandparents here in America.

It seemed like the last name "Raphael" would be an easy name to research, but it turned out that his family didn't have a consistent spelling when they came over to America and different family members used various spellings making it more challenging.
