Life in the Past Lane

In this session I provide you with a verbal tutorial on researching the Holocaust. I include pointers to information provided by me (on ManyRoads) to help you find your way through the confusion created as the legacy of this catastrophic historical period.

I offer insights into the joys and frustrations of being ‘the family genealogist’. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/manyroads/support
