Provenance research of Jewish ceremonial objects looted during the Second World War
Leo Baeck Institute Wednesday March 22, 2017 11-12:30 p.m. Please join the Leo Baeck Institute for an informal lecture and discussion led by Julie-Marthe Cohen of the Jewish Historical Museum Amsterdam, who will discuss her work developing a provenance methodology for the Claims Conference. On request of the Claims Conference, Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and Julie-Marthe Cohen are working on a manual that presents a methodology on how to do provenance research that aims at establishing 1) pre-war ownership of a displaced Judaica object (provenance research) and 2) the present location of objects of which ownership is known (quovadience research). Julie-Marthe Cohen will briefly outline the content of the handbook and will give some examples that will show how the use of archival sources may lead to the identification of missing or displaced ceremonial objects. Julie-Marthe Cohen is curator at the Jewish Historical Museum Amsterdam. She has been engaged in tracing the fate of looted Jewish ceremonial objects since 2000 when she started researching the war history of the Jewish Historical Museum. Together with Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek she edited Neglected Witnesses. The Fate of Jewish Ceremonial Objects During the Second World War and After, which was published in 2011. Please RSVP to David Brown dbr...@lbi.cjh.org<mailto:dbr...@lbi.cjh.org> at the Leo Baeck Institute if you are interested in attending.
