European Ashkenazi Jewish history and culture. They include a wealth of sources
for genealogical research. YIVO archivist Hallel Yadin will review the different kinds
of documents available at YIVO, including pre-war community records, immigration
case files, yizkor books, landsmanschaftn records, and more. She will also discuss
