In the lecture I will use my own family history research and local history research to tell the story of the last two centuries of the Prague ghetto. I follow my own extended family in five generations 1790 to 1910 relating to the changing situation in the Prague Judenstadt. I will show how you could combine your own findings about your family with knowledge about the houses they lived in, how they moved out of the ghetto and what they earned for living. At the same time I will show how the struggle for emancipation and changes in the legal policy from the imperial authories affected the Jews living in the Judenstadt. If you expand your perspective in this way you will not only get a better understanding of the history of your family but also get more sucessfull in your genealogical research.
