Several years ago, Todd Knowles, Deputy Chief Genealogical Officer at FamilySearch, visited the synagogue in his ancestral hometown of Fordon, Poland, where he became friends with the local Rabbi. Todd’s ancestors had immigrated and become citizens of the United States during the mid-1800s—long before World War II. Nevertheless, by searching records in the Arolsen Archives of Jews captured during World War II, he found that he and the Rabbi had mutual Jewish relatives who were captured during World War II. The Arolsen Archives is a great resource to help you find your Jewish ancestors who were affected by the events of World War II.
