"I hired Abigail and her team to translate hundreds of pages of letters written to my grandmother while she was separated from her family during the Holocaust. Many are hand written, on paper that is incredibly delicate, sometimes creased, ripped and damaged, some in a cursive that is completely unintelligible to me. It's difficult to entrust someone with such a sensitive undertaking, and my family and I have been beyond grateful for Abigail's incredible attention to detail, and specialized knowledge of this language, even from this particular time. She provided us with more than we had hoped for, and she added meaningful information to give us context for what we were reading, when possible. Her service goes far beyond a simple word for word translation. She has exceeded our expectations, and we strongly recommend her to anyone seeking to have meaningful, historical, German text translated."

Skilled at reading old German handwriting styles, including Sütterlin, I help families and organizations unlock the door to the past by translating 1930s and 40s personal correspondence and official documents from German to English, with sensitivity to and respect for Jewish history. Personal letters and vital records contain crucial details on Jewish families’ personal experiences and must urgent concerns during the Nazi rise to power, Nazi persecution of the Jews, and the Holocaust. My strong background in history (BA in European History, MA in International Literatures) aids me in unlocking the specific histories contained in your family or organization’s documents.
