  Hershele G. asked:

  Does anyone know if there are any organizations out there who would still send someone out to film a holocaust testimony. I contacted the USC Shoah Foundation, but unfortunately they are low on funds and not doing it anymore. I would really like my grandmother to give testimony. She's 90 years old with vivid recollections of life before during and after the war. If anyone can recommend someone I wouldn't mind paying for a professional interview , although have a limited budget. Thanks

  Lew K. asked:

  I am still not sure how this FB group "works". Does one simply post some names and hope another member recognizes them? I see a lot of requests for translation. I have a trove of letters and documents in Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish and Russian that I would love to get translated . But It seems unfair as it would be very time consuming, not to say difficult. Any ground rules on that? Is there someone in the group, preferably in NY, who would be willing to translate professionally, for a fee? Is there any organization that might want those letters and documents?

  YIVO would almost definitely be interested in those documents. https://www.yivo.org/donate-materials
