The Leo Baeck Institute is a library and archive that works to preserve and promote the history of German-speaking Jewry in Europe. Founded in 1955, our archive holds over 13,000 collections. These include family papers, institutional records, and to a lesser extent artwork and objects. Come join us to see how the Leo Baeck Institute archives has developed from a small academic organization into an important place of research and connection for scholars of German-Jewish history, and the families that come from this background themselves.
This is an in-person event limited to 25 A.R.T. Members & Non-Members. Please note that you MUST reserve a ticket in advance online in order to attend this event.
In the occasion that the event is sold out, we highly recommend joining the waitlist. An ART staff member will reach out to you if a spot becomes available. Unless you've been given permission, please do not show up at the event without registering.
