The Leo Baeck Institute’s Library of Lost Books project continues to uncover fascinating historical insights through its various research initiatives. Recently, a workshop was held at the Martin-Buber-Institute for Jewish Studies in Cologne, organised in collaboration with Germania Judaica. This event brought together experts in provenance research and Jewish cultural heritage.
Clara Koser, former LBI London ARSP volunteer and representing the Leo Baeck Institute, presented an overview of the project and introduced methodologies for provenance research. The workshop featured practical sessions where participants examined potentially looted books, with a particular emphasis on Jewish children’s literature.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants and contributors for their engagement and expertise in this crucial work.
