Marin Independent Journal features Sheri T. Joseph

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

When Sheri T. Joseph went to a lecture about genetic science more than a decade ago hoping to learn more about a topic that involved her family, she had no clue how important it would be.

While there, she learned about Adolf Hitler’s interest in developing a blood test to detect Jewish or Romani children who looked Aryan enough to hide in the open with German or Polish families. It stuck with her.

“Such a test was not possible back then, but it got me thinking about how that would translate with modern science and tech — not just for any of the ‘inferior’ ethnic groups during World War II, but in other historical events around the world, where people who did not stand out by physical appearance, and were perhaps even themselves unaware of their background, would have faced deadly consequences? What if in the Rwandan genocide, the Hutu militias had a screening test to detect Tutsis? Dalits who blended with the upper castes in India? Serbs and Bosnians, too many slices of American history and countless others,” she writes.
