Ask the desk for further information upon your arrival

Wouldn’t it be great to learn that you are related to famous Jewish people like Albert Einstein, Emma Lazarus or Theodor Herzl? You can now try the new app, ANU Family, that not only will help you track down those relations, but also find other visitors currently in the museum, who are related to you.

All you need to do is sign into your GENI account upon your arrival. You shall then see a list of famous personalities you are related to, as well as nature of the relation. One click will reveal where the person is referred to inside the exhibition. A second click – and you can also find out whether other unknown relatives are visiting the museum as well.

If you already have a family tree you’ve created before, upload the GEDCOM file onto GENI and join the global family tree.

If you do not have a family tree yet, you can create one before your visit, or in the database desk at the lobby. The bigger your tree is, the larger is your chance to find relations via the app.
