Description: DigiBaeck is a gateway to LBI's digital collections, a growing treasury of artifacts that document the rich heritage of German-speaking Jewry in the modern era. DigiBaeck provides instant access to materials ranging from rare 16th century renaissance books to memoirs that document the experience of German-Jewish émigrés across the world in the 20th century. Highlights include digitized materials from Albert Einstein, the Mendelssohn family, Joseph Roth, some 20th-century philosophers, and the unpublished memoirs, diaries, scrapbooks and correspondence of many German Jews, giving first-hand accounts of their experiences.
