Our focus...
Our mission is to champion the arts, promote peace, and preserve history. Our work preserves the historic contributions of Georg and Agathe’s extended families in music, art, innovation, humanitarianism, and internationalism, as well as their enduring wish for peace. Through research, education, and archival efforts, we are committed to sharing their rich cultural heritage,
Our focus is to have a lasting impact by sharing our family's stories to inspire others to discover more about culture and history, incorporate the arts into their lives, make a difference in their communities, and research their own heritage.

Logo
Our logo represents our mission statement: the music clef, anchor, and pen. Together, these represent a stylized sailing ship (sail, ship's body, and crow's nest), symbolizing humanity's journey.
Highlight 'that which is not
remembered is lost'.
It is important to collect and share stories, for that which is not written down is forgotten. Knowing our past is illuminating and can help us better understand our present. Often, the insights gained can become a steadying force in our lives.

ABOUT: Mission
Music Clef (Sail & Rudder)
Raise awareness to the importance
of music, the arts, and culture in our lives.
Far from being frivolous, science is proving the arts are fundamental to our wellbeing. It is the wind in humanity's sail, guiding our cultures, and crossing borders.
