AI Converts Holocaust Yizkor Books Into Searchable Graphs at $10 per 650-Page Book

The author shares the Kehilot pipeline and economics: each book goes through OCR, scan-artifact repair, entity extraction, cross-model verification, and deduplication. AI reads every page to extract people, families, places, institutions, and events into a linked graph.
Four communities (Łuków, Białystok, Sokółka, Lwów) are live with 23,367 records. The core principle: no fact without a source — every name, date, and relation links to its exact spot on the scanned page.
Converting one 650-page book costs about $10 — not cheap, but the author says quality can't be compromised.
