Presenter: Megan Lewis, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum holds many records about how the Holocaust affected the Sephardic communities in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, North Africa as well as the Netherlands, France, Spain and Romania. The records of the Sephardic community in Salonika, Greece are an excellent case study of how the Holocaust scattered records to many countries, and the Museum's role as being a center where researchers can look at dispersed records in one place. The Museum's library houses the Haïm-Vidal Sephiha Judeo-Espagnol Collection which contains materials in a variety of formats about the history, culture, and language of the Sephardic community, including many rare items. This presentation will highlight the Sephardic collections and demonstrate how researchers can search our catalog to find relevant materials.
