“Thank you so much for the amazing work that you have done on researching and presenting information about Jungfernhof... By simply finding out that Emmy Gertrud was deported to Jungfernhof and also learning something about the Camp itself, I have come to appreciate the terrible suffering that she probably experienced. I somehow feel that I am now getting a chance to bring her some peace. By speaking her name, and sharing her story, I feel that I am able, in some small way, to counteract the giant eraser of lives and family memory that was the Nazi era.” —Andrea

“Thank you for your dedication in developing the program and in creating the art in memory of those we have lost.”. —Netti

“I'm thrilled to find this project. I was recently able to get the final destination of my great grandparents today. My grandfather is still alive and would love to have the opportunity to help honor my family.” —Seth
