Lynn Davis

Information Specialist, The DNA Shoah Project


I coordinate the outreach efforts of the DNA Shoah Project, an innovative effort to reunite Holocaust survivors and their descendants via the creation of a genetic database. I serve as the primary point of contact for the public and the media vis-a -vis the project and I design marketing materials that will best introduce the project to potential supporters and collaborators worldwide.

I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with degrees in Political Science (International Relations emphasis) and French Literature. I speak fluent French, a smattering of Spanish and I've forgotten all the Russian I've ever learned.

I am an avid knitter, spinner, potter and yogi who enjoys cooking and gardening and who never has any trouble filling up her "free" time.
