The Leo Baeck Institute’s Library of Lost Books project – developed jointly by LBI London and LBI Jerusalem – was recently featured at the Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo 2025, hosted by the Landecker Digital Memory Lab at the University of Sussex.
The inaugural Expo brought together Holocaust heritage experts, educators, policymakers, academics, and creative professionals to explore new approaches to digital Holocaust memory. Unlike traditional academic conferences, the event focused on hands-on experimentation, networking, and showcasing innovative projects shaping the future of remembrance.
The project was presented by Kinga Bloch, who is coordinating the Library of Lost Books on behalf of LBI London. Her contribution highlighted the project’s aim to recover and reimagine books lost during the Holocaust through digital storytelling and creative engagement.
Dr Joseph Cronin, Director of the Leo Baeck Institute London, said:
“We’re delighted that The Library of Lost Books was featured at such a forward-thinking event. Our thanks go to Kinga for representing the project so effectively.”
