"Abby did a wonderful job of transcribing and translating my Austrian Jewish grandparents’ letters from Vienna during the Nazi era to my father and other family members who escaped to Australia. My grandparents eventually died in the Holocaust, but Abby’s skilful and vivid translation of the letters (which were written in difficult-to-decipher old German cursive script) is an enormous gift to me and my children. It renders palpable the distress and anguish of a family being torn apart; but it also conveys their love for each other, and enables us to hear my grandparents' voices, which would otherwise have been lost to us."

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.
