Why is Rabbi Leo Baeck included in this project?

Private User, he was a Holocaust survivor and a refugee. This seems like a concern about semantics. One could argue that since he went to Terezin, he indeed did leave Germany during the war. What is your point?

It’s a silly list in any case including people who are children of refugees, people killed in the holocaust (after first being refugees) , among other things. Not of much genealogical value to my mind.

Amy Wolff, my point is a simple (and, I think, obvious) one: Rabbi Baeck was in NO sense a refugee or an emigré from the German Reich. Terezín was within the German Reich, and even if it had not been so, to be forcibly interred in a concentration camp or a ghetto under German control is not to emigrate or find refuge. To dismiss this incontestable fact as a matter of "semantics" is utterly disingenuous.

Ralph Michael Silverman, in light of Amy Wolff's reply, your point seems to me legitimate, though it is disappointing to me. I thought that this group was intended to live up to its name, but the reply of Amy Wolff indicates that it does not do so and therefore is of no value.
