Tune in to this episode of our podcast, Conversations with B’nai B’rith, for a discussion about the DNA Reunion Project, a pioneering effort piloted through the Center for Jewish History in New York to help unite Holocaust survivors with family they didn’t know they had – an especially priceless gift as the number of survivors dwindles with time.

Dr. Adina Newman, a professional genealogist who leads the project with her colleague Jennifer Mendelsohn, speaks with B’nai B’rith CEO Dan Mariaschin about the project’s mission, Jewish genealogy, how DNA testing can benefit survivors, and some of the meaningful genetic matches the project has helped uncover.
