I've had the good fortune of both meeting Nina, and availing myself of her profound knowledge of early- to late-modern German-Jewish history, and the complexities of its society and culture. Her insights are paralleled only by her extraordinary talent in interpreting and rendering translations of the numerous and arcane German calligraphic styles used by government officials during those periods. Her expertise in the former, and, in particular, her skills in the latter, have been instrumental in helping me understand my own German-Jewish ancestry—to a far greater extent than my grandparents ever knew, or had the means to know. Nina also performs her work in a timely and highly professional manner, and is always a delight to work with. I have no hesitation in commending her to anyone who needs translation of historical German text or official documentation and/or a better understanding of its context… after all, context is everything, and this is exactly what Nina offers and provides with distinction..
