About this Guide

This research guide was created with educators and researchers in mind and highlights collections accessible at the Center for Jewish History that relate to Jewish aid, rescue, and resettlement during the Holocaust and beyond. 

The Center for Jewish History illuminates history, culture, and heritage. It is the collaborative home of five partner organizations: American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Each partner holds rich collections relating to war, diplomacy, social and political history that span thousands of years. 

 

Please email inquiries@cjh.org if you have any additional questions about the thousands of books, archival collections, and multimedia available to use for research at the Center.
