About Meriel Schindler
London-based lawyer Meriel Schindler is the author of The Lost Café Schindler: One family, two wars and the search for truth. In her book, she talks about her family’s Jewish origins in Austria and explores the places where her late father and his family lived and visited, as well as the people they interacted with. Schindler’s book covers WWI, WWII, and the times in between.

Hopefully after the talk we will also have time to discuss some of the new developments and recent discoveries in German-Jewish genealogy. As ever, the presentation from the meeting will be made available after the meeting, and the meeting will end with an opportunity for you to ask any questions about your own family history research. It would be helpful if you could email them in advance to jeanette.r.rosenberg@googlemail.com before the meeting.

JGSGB German SIG future meetings are: 5 December 2021 and 6 March 2022, 12 June 2022 (delayed 1 week due to Shavuot), 4 September 2022 and 4 December 2022. Please add them to your forward calendar.
