Just found via Twitter and Dick Eastman's blog:
Thousands answer crowdsourcing call to assist Germany’s Arolsen Archives in making 26 million newly digitized historical documents searchable by anyone online.
A huge crowdsourcing project to memorialize the victims of Nazi persecution is bringing together thousands of volunteers from across the globe who are locked down during the international coronavirus crisis. The “Every Name Counts” project, based out of Germany’s Arolsen Archives (formerly the International Tracing Service), aims to make 26 million recently digitized primary historical records searchable.

Hi Carol, it opens right up for me. Are you logged in with the same email you use for the group? Once you log in, you stay logged in for 30 days unless you deliberately log out. -v
Thank you Valorie. Sometimes I feel so technically challenged This is a link to the page that I am able to open when I go to directory. I think I must be going to the wrong page. I tried opening the link down below in the body of your email and I couldn’t open the directory. I don’t think I’m making sense If you could help me it would be wonderful. Thanks so much, Carol https://skcgs.groups.io/g/Society/directory Help I joined the Groups.io and I found 4 members...I did not find a contact to Clifford...did I go to the wrong place?
Hi Carol -- If you have a public profile, you can see those with a public profile, in the Directory. You will find it on the left, half-way down the list:
A search for you and "clifford" in the directory finds both you and him. I'm happy to report that 95 out of 102 members are in the Directory! A person's email will only be displayed if they deliberately do that; however there is an "email" button to allow you to contact them via the group, but privately.
Valorie LOL Carol! Thanks for the update and all the special notes. Can you be sure that Clifford has my email contact and I would love to help him with Swedish genealogy. When I have a Swedish research project there is no need for mystery novels🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪.

Re: Visit 12 Historic sites in 12 hours
MaryLynn, there must have been an interesting story about your winter at Heart Mountain. This was an interesting list and none of my ancestors were ever at any of these. Ellis Island yes, Chimney Rock on the Oregon Trail yes, Northern Neck Land Grants yes and lots of Oregon Land Donation Claims yes, but no one ever connected with the tourist destinations we visit today.
