Online launch event: Wiener Digital Collections
February 5 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
On Holocaust Memorial Day 2025, the Wiener Holocaust Library launches Wiener Digital Collections.
This website allows readers around the world to access digital copies of many of the Library’s most important collections. These include the Jewish Central Information Office’s reports on the growth of antisemitism in Europe in the 1930s, as well as documents donated to the library by the Nuremberg war crimes trial authorities in return for the support the Library gave to prosecutors. Numerous photographic collections, for example photographs of Łódź ghetto, sit alongside published materials, for instance a selection of anti-Nazi writings with innocuous covers to escape censorship.
Wiener Digital Collections’ state-of-the-art viewer allows users to find the materials they want easily. It is an important tool for promoting Holocaust research and education, and for combatting the rising tide of antisemitism
Join us for an online event to mark this special milestone with special guest speakers discussing this ground-breaking project.
