I will be visiting Weimar and Thuringia in August 2017 with my family to visit and learn a bit more about that area--my father was born in Weimar and fled in 1938, but most of his family remained and were killed. His family goes back a number of generations in a number of other towns in Thuringia.
None of us speak or read German very well, so we think having someone guide us around makes sense. Do folks have recommendations of either people to help us with such a trip or of places to look for such help? I visited Weimar with my parents in 1977 (then East Germany) and my memory >from that trip is that we went to a number of small Jewish cemeteries scattered in smaller towns. I have a fairly good list of locations and we hope for a guide who can help us visit them with some efficiency. If there is also someone who can add to our knowledge of Jewish family history in Thuringia, that would be wonderful.
