Michael talks about two different cases that he

worked on, tracing relatives of children who survived the

Holocaust.

This is episode 2 of 6 of a mini series – Due to popular request we are releasing all six episodes.

Moniek Garber thought he was only person left in his

family to have survived the Holocaust. At a meeting in

Glasgow, Scotland, organised by The Association of

Jewish Refugees, he heard Michael Tobias OBE, who is

a genealogist, offer to trace family members. He said

sadly to Michael that he did not think that Michael

could help him.

Michael Tobias is an award-winning professional

genealogist specialising in Jewish research worldwide.

His particular expertise lies in Poland, the United

Kingdom (especially Scotland) and the USA. He has

over 30 years of genealogy experience including 25

years helping Holocaust survivors and their families,

and utilising DNA analysis.

Michael is a ‘detective’, his work is fascinating. Listen

to the podcasts and hear about Michael’s work and

about Moniek and his childhood and why he was sent

to a concentration camp aged 15. Did Michael succeed

in finding any trace of Moniek’s family?
