While you are in the library, drop by the second floor to take a look at the YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe. Illustrated with photographs that only became available in the post-Communist era, the encyclopedia aims to recover and represent all aspects of Jewish life in “the World Before,” as the pre-Holocaust era is often called in Holocaust museums. Readers will find this two volume encyclopedia in the reference collection, REF 305.8924 YIV.

The Chicago YIVO Society 2010 Summer Festival of Yiddish Culture brought more of its programs to the library this summer.  This event took place on Tuesday, June 15, at 12:15 in the Auditorium.
