GIS technology starts a journey to help undo a Nazi crime

Two “historical” GIS posts in one day! It seems some enterprising students from the University of St. Thomas and helping a family reclaim property that was confiscated by the Nazis.

This article is fairly long but basically these students searched old documents to build a probable case to return property to a family. What’s a little disappointing is that the records are not always very clear so it’s difficult to build a strong case.

I wish I had been able to do something this interesting in my undergraduate days.
