## JewishGen: The Global Hub for Jewish Genealogical Research JewishGen serves as the world's premier online resource for Jewish genealogical research, operating as the Genealogical Research Division with a mission to help people trace their Jewish ancestry and heritage. This comprehensive platform functions as a free public resource, offering an extensive digital archive that enables users to explore their family histories, connect with relatives, and discover their ancestral origins. The site positions itself as "The Global Home for Jewish Genealogy," emphasizing its role as a central gathering place for researchers, historians, and individuals seeking to understand their Jewish lineage. The platform's core strength lies in its massive database containing tens of millions of records from around the globe. Notably, the collection includes over 4 million Holocaust-related records and more than 4.2 million burial records through the Jewish Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR). Users can access diverse research tools including the Town Finder (Communities Database), Yizkor Books, Family Trees, Memorial & Plaques Database, and specialized country and topical databases. The site continuously expands its collection monthly, ensuring researchers have access to newly digitized materials. Additionally, JewishGen offers educational resources through online classes, research methodologies, and even provides opportunities for university students to participate in the Bennett & Robin Greenspan L'dor V'dor Legacy Program and study tours of Poland. The platform emphasizes community connection and collaboration through features like the Family Finder, Discussion Groups, ViewMate, and success story sharing. These tools enable tens of thousands of members worldwide to connect, share research experiences, and assist one another in genealogical discoveries. JewishGen targets a diverse audience including amateur genealogists, professional researchers, Holocaust survivors and their descendants, and anyone interested in Jewish history and heritage. The site's cultural significance extends beyond individual family research, serving as a vital repository for preserving Jewish community records, documenting historical experiences, and maintaining connections to ancestral towns and traditions that might otherwise be lost to time.
