Leo Baeck Institute London

In May 1955, a group of prominent German-speaking Jewish scholars and thinkers gathered in Jerusalem with a shared mission: to safeguard the history and culture of a community nearly lost to the Holocaust. This moment marked the founding of the Leo Baeck Institute.

With independent institutes in New York, London, and Jerusalem, LBI has spent the last 70 years preserving the stories, documents, and legacies of German-speaking Jewry. What started as a memorial effort has grown into a global institution dedicated to research, education, and cultural preservation.

The LBI London is pleased to welcome our new Postdoctoral Research Fellow to the team.

Dr Stahlberger is an early career researcher specialising in German and Austrian exile studies and German-Jewish history. Her work focuses on questions of cultural identity, belonging, and transnational memory.

The Leo Baeck Institute London proudly presents its 2025 Lecture Series: Belonging and Exclusion. This series explores German-Jewish experiences over four lectures throughout 2025:

• Nicholas Courtman on Jewish citizenship reclamation in post-war Germany
• Erin Hochman on interwar German nationalism
• Lisa Pine on Hitler’s Mein Kampf, 100 years on

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women, and children murdered during the Holocaust, as well as the countless others who suffered under Nazi persecution. We honour their memory and reaffirm our commitment to combating antisemitism, prejudice, and hatred in all its forms.

This year we also mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
