What a wonderful job you've done.”

My Services

Medical Translation

(Spanish and German to English)

Skilled at reading older German handwriting styles, including Kurrent, 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 administrative paperworkcontain 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.

Testimonials

Zevi Slotkin

Forest Hills, NY

"The personal letters of my father’s parents who both perished in Auschwitz had remained unread for 80 years. Abby expertly translated them and brought their forgotten voices and personalities to life. I must confess that confronting their fates in light of these letters was more difficult for me emotionally than I had anticipated. Returning to the past of the Holocaust is never easy. But Abby understands this, and over the course of our correspondence she showed a great deal of respect, understanding, and sympathy. I consider these her most important qualities. On the technical side of things, Abby displayed great attention to detail in the translations and had no trouble at all with my grandmother’s handwriting. Plus, she delivered everything in a timely manner. So if you have Holocaust era letters or documents that you have been meaning to translate, I highly recommend contacting Abby."
