“Current Trends and Topics in Jewish Genealogy“
Special Issue Guest Editor
Prof. Dr. Hanoch Daniel Wagner
Dear Colleagues,
Jewish genealogy traces the ancestral roots of Jewish families using archival records, DNA analysis, and oral histories. Interest in this field has grown, particularly as people seek to reconnect with their roots and understand their history, especially in light of the Holocaust’s impact. Advances like online databases and DNA testing have made this easier.
Current topics include the roots of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, migration patterns, and the Holocaust’s effects on Jewish families. This field also explores identity and connections across time and space, offering insights into Jewish culture and history.
This field also raises interesting questions about identity, migration, and the ways in which families and communities are connected through time and space. By examining the stories and histories of Jewish families, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex and diverse nature of Jewish identity and culture, and the ways in which it has been shaped by historical events and geographic factors.
