Leo Baeck Institute (LBI), a research library and archive, was founded in 1955 by a circle of émigré Jewish intellectuals who resolved to preserve the vibrant history and culture of German-speaking Jews after the destruction of the Holocaust. In the decades since, LBI has worked to fulfill that mission by building one of the world's most significant repositories of sources on German-Jewish life, now encompassing more than five million digitized items as well as an 80,000-volume research library. From rare Renaissance-era books to modern scholarship and the papers of luminaries and ordinary families alike, the collection documents the richness of Jewish life in Central Europe, which LBI promotes through its public programs, exhibitions, and support for scholars.
