The Sam and Dora Letters presents a box of over 100 letters exchanged between Sam and Dora Diamondstein from 1900 to 1926. Roughly half were written in Yiddish and required AI assistance for transcription and translation. The site offers two primary ways to explore the material: a continuous narrative story woven from the letters with photographs and linked evidence, or a chronological letter-by-letter archive. It also includes a browsable index of every person mentioned. The project serves as an experiment in honest AI-assisted genealogical research.
