I have never met Martha but I will miss her. Her name is giant to me, doing

she went to the conference in New York a few years past. Before that she had been very helpful to me, a novice researcher on this site. Because of her the names on the tombstones of the Talsi Latvia cemetery were translated >from pictures I had found. Louise Hajdenberg

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Martha Lev-Zion passed
away this afternoon at her home in Omer, surrounded by close friends. Martha has been fighting this last illness for a couple of years with amazing strength and courage. As you may recall Martha was very involved in the genealogy world in Israel - founding the Negev branch of the IGS and running it for many years. She then served on the Executive of IGRA being a founder of the group and an integral part of the organization, helping with our databases and programming. Martha was a director on the IAJGS board of directors and a past president of the international Latvia SIG. She was co-founder and served on the steering committee of the Courland Research Group. She wrote extensively about the Jews of Franconia & Thuringen [Germany] and Courland [Latvia]. Dr. Martha Lev-Zion was an historian of modern European intellectual history and lectured at the Ben Gurion University. She also authored the book Taking Tamar. The funeral will be in Omer tomorrow (February 12, 2014). Martha will be missed by all those who knew her. May her memory be for a blessing. Carol Hoffman Israel Genealogy Research Association IGRA
