Searching for relatives – restore a connection that seemed lost forever

Since 1998, the Am haZikaron Institute has been helping to restore lost family ties, finding separated relatives and organizing their reunions. At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Russian Empire experienced a large-scale Jewish exodus. By 1920, fleeing pogroms, some two million Russian Jews had emigrated to America, Europe, and Eretz Israel. Thousands of families have been separated. Many had loved ones left in Russia whom they never saw again. Today, we help descendants reunite. We also help find relatives lost in the Holocaust. Over many years of family history research, the institute has created a flexible and efficient system for finding relatives. We have been able to help many. Even Holocaust survivors and their descendants, for whom this was the last chance to find relatives they had been desperately searching for all their lives. Fill out the form – we will try to help you too.
