Dr. Irene Aue-Ben-David, director of the Leo Baeck Institute in Jerusalem, is leading efforts to preserve and promote the history and culture of German-speaking Jewry. Under her guidance, the institute has expanded its programming in Hebrew, launched digital archives, and participated in projects like the Library of Lost Books. In a recent interview marking the institute's 70th anniversary, Aue-Ben-David discussed the importance of translating German Jewish sources, the institute's evolving role, and the often-overlooked aspects of German Jewish history beyond the Holocaust, such as the community's 19th-century cultural and civic achievements. The anniversary was celebrated with a major interdisciplinary conference, reflecting on the meaning of 'home' and the enduring legacy of German Jewry in Israel.
