Jewish Genealogical Society presents Werner Frank: The Judenhaus & Gurs Internments as Precursors to the Holocaust

Werner L. Frank was born in Germany and immigrated to the US in 1937. He is an avid genealogist who has amassed 36,000 family names dating to the thirteenth century and is publisher of “Legacy: The Saga of a German-Jewish Family Across Time and Circumstance.” Frank’s German refugee origin turned his focus on the little known event that foreshadowed the Holocaust by authoring Curse of Gurs: Way Station to Auschwitz, chronicling the October 1940 deportation of over 6,000 Jews.
