What does it mean to find a ‘piece of home’ in an archive? A new article in the Jüdische Allgemeine, Germany’s official Jewish newspaper, explores how personal stories and documents preserved at the Leo Baeck Institute continue to offer connection, memory, and meaning for families and researchers alike.
Through moving examples, such as the artistic legacy of Holocaust survivor Yehuda Bacon and the wartime correspondence of Werner T. Angress, the article illustrates how the LBI’s ever-growing collections remain a living resource for understanding the past and shaping identity today.
We invite you to read the full article (in German) to discover these stories and the ongoing work of the LBI in preserving German-Jewish history: https://www.juedische-allgemeine.de/religion/ein-stueck-heimat-5/
