The mission of JewishGen, the leading internet site for Jewish genealogy, evolving over just a few years, has broadened and solidified into one compelling central goal. JewishGen projects and services all provide a unique opportunity to gather, document and preserve our research and make it available to the Jewish community worldwide as a public service through the JewishGen web site (http://www.jewishgen.org). This is the single element that sets JewishGen apart from all others.  The goal is to ensure that Jewish lives, both past and present, woven into the fabric of social and cultural history, rise again from the ashes of the destroyed communities we will visit.  To this end, JewishGen is determined as well as dedicated to do whatever it takes to ensure we are... "preserving our history for future generations"
