Shelly Freeman, of YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (the world's premier institution for the study of Eastern European Jewry), will give an informal talk on the archives and a guided tour of the YIVO Bruce and Francesca Cernia Slovin Online Museum. The museum is a unique, wide-ranging educational initiative that presents East European Jewish history through the lives of specific individuals. By making use of rare or unknown treasures of YIVO’s Archives and Library, presented through interactive experiences, the museum seeks to restore concrete living context to the past of the Jewish people of eastern Europe.
