She has been a member of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles for many years, an active participant in Internet activities, a member of Jewish Gen’s German and Sephardic on-line special interest groups, and a volunteer at the Los Angeles Family History Library where she teaches regularly.

Jan has published articles in Avotaynu, The Galitzianer and is the author of March of the Living ~ Our Stories, a collection of stories of twelve Holocaust survivors. She is currently working on her own memoir that will include many serendipitous tales from her adventures from a lifetime of genealogical research.
