A Project of the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life & Culture in collaboration with Yale Reisner, Chief Genealogist, Jewish Genealogy Learning Center of the Jewish Historical Institute, Warsaw
The Jewish Genealogy Learning Center is being developed by the Jewish Historical Institute on its building site in Warsaw, Poland. The Center, directed by Yale Reisner, will be both a physical and virtual site where lay and scholarly users will have access to a central genealogical database, and a professionally trained staff to assist them. More than 70% of world Jewry comes from Poland, and the Jewish Historical Institute houses the largest repository of information on Polish Jewry. The Jewish Genealogy Learning Center will make this information available to the growing public demand for it, both inside and outside of Poland. The Center's reach will extend to international tourists and researchers with an interest in Polish Jewish history, Poles with an interest in Jewish culture and heritage, government agencies and municipalities, schools, university and study groups, including Polish Jews and their descendants.
