| Genealogical Data | ||||||
This
site
contains genealogical
data
of more than 192,000
persons that are related to Dutch Jewish families, which are collected
by
Bertha and Max van Dam. The database contains over 35 separate family
trees.
Characteristic for these family trees is that the ancestors of almost
all these
families lived in The Netherlands already before 1800. Another
characteristic
is, alas, that large parts of these families perished during 1940-1945.
It
is our
duty to those who have been murdered, to remember, never to forget them
and to
know why they perished, "so
that once many millions will be alive, born
from those … who did survive."
(in italics translated from a poem by
Jaap de Boers, 1979)
