As a postwar German the making of this website represents a work of mourning and an attempt to preserve Jewish culture. I am deeply concerned about the immense losses the Holocaust has brought upon the Jewish people.
As a teenager I found out about the Holocaust and later joined Aktion Suehnezeichen (Action for Reconciliation a German organization devoted to doing amends for the Nazi crimes by sending young Germans to needy places in various countries.
I envision the site's more general purpose as a documentary history project of a specific people in one of the oldest Jewish communities in Los Angeles. The life stories that these students have to share are important to hear for generations to come in that they provide vivid insights into the personal lives and times of their writers.
