We cordially invite you to celebrate the exhibition opening with us!
After a brief welcome, Dr. Irene Aue-Ben-David, Director of the Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem, will present the project behind the exhibition. The Library of Lost Books is a worldwide search for the library of the Berlin Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums, which was once looted by the Nazis. Prof. Dr. Christian Wiese, Director of the Buber-Rosenzweig Institute at Goethe University, will then give a short introduction to the history of the university and the Jewish scholarly movement.
The event will be followed by a reception.
The exhibition will be on display from November 15, 2024, to January 31, 2025, in the foyer of the Central Library of the University Library Frankfurt am Main at Freimannplatz 1, 60325 Frankfurt am Main.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8:30 AM - 9:20 PM Sat-Sun 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
