Read more about Leningrad than the memorial book alone records. The assistant works from this record's own source passages and searches trusted archives — Yad Vashem, USHMM, YIVO, Virtual Shtetl, JewishGen and Wikipedia — and shows you what it found, with its sources.
Beyond the book
A memorial book holds what its community could gather. Search the outside archives — Yad Vashem, USHMM, Arolsen, JewishGen and others — for what they add.
