II. Ongoing Programs
DNA Shoah Project
The Alabama Holocaust Commission has endorsed the DNA Shoah Project.

The DNA Shoah Project, coordinated with the University of Arizona, Division of Technology, is building a genetic database of people who lost family during the Holocaust. All survivors of the Holocaust and their offspring are offered free DNA analysis as part of the National Geographic Genographic Project. This database will help reunite families torn apart during wartime and aid in identifying victims of the Nazi regime who remain buried anonymously throughout Europe.
