On View
LBI is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a two-part exhibit, 70 Years of LBI: Bridging Generations. The exhibit tells the story of LBI’s founding and showcase recent LBI projects.
The first part of the exhibit regales viewers with the story of the Institute from its May 1955 founding conference in Jerusalem to the present day. Featuring the most important moments from the last 70 years, the exhibit presents the events, staff members, scholars, and others who shaped the present and future of the Institute–and the field of German-Jewish studies at large. The exhibit explores the unique connection between the Institute’s activities, Germany, and the German-speaking Jewish diaspora. It also explains how the role and the audience of the Institute have changed with the new generations of scholars and lay audiences. The exhibit utilizes materials gathered but rarely seen over the years in LBI archives. The second part of the exhibit, LBI at Work, presents recent LBI projects, including a podcast series, online projects, and video interviews with scholars.
