Dear colleagues: It just came to my attention that an important email that was sent to me in June 2016 by the Director General of Berlin State Library, Frau Barbara Schneider-Kempf, never came into my inbox or even junk box.
I just learned of Frau Director General Barbara Schneider-Kempf's desire (expressed in June 2016) to present at our conference in Charleston about an amazing collection of brochures produced by Jewish survivors in the Displaced Persons Camps. As you can imagine we are delighted. I am humbled that Frau Schneider-Kempf answered my request by herself (not through her secretary) and stressed that the honor was hers. Please come to learn about this incredible collection and to meet (for the first time or again) Frau Schneider-Kempf who spent the whole 2009 conference with us, attending as many sessions as she could. We are looking forward to an incredibly rich learning and networking experience for all of us. With my warmest regards, Shoshanah Shoshanah Seidman Faculty Liaison, Program for Jewish Studies, Northwestern University Library Annual Conference co-Chair, Association of Jewish Libraries 847-467-2914 ****************************************************************************************** Here come your last year's initial and our answering mails: Dear Mrs. Seidman, Thank you ever so much for your kind invitation which I will accept with great pleasure and therefore quickly answer myself! The honor is on my side, and I will be very happy to speak about all the efforts we take to enlarge and preserve our collections of Jewish Heritage. There is still enough time to fix a subject I could than speak about, e.g. our very special collection of rare and precious books and brochures once produced by Jewish who had survived the Second World War and were lucky to be sheltered in the Displaced Persons Camps throughout Germany in the years 1945 till 1950. This is a first rough idea - but for the moment, please, take down that I will be very proud to be your guest again! With best regards, Barbara Schneider-Kempf Generaldirektorin | Director General ***************************************** Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz Generaldirektorin Barbara Schneider-Kempf Potsdamer Straße 33 10785 Berlin Telefon +49 30 266 431300 barbara.schneider-ke...@sbb.spk-berlin.de ***************************************** www.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rose Shoshanah Seidman [mailto:sseid...@northwestern.edu] Gesendet: Freitag, 29. Mai 2015 18:29 An: Klemke-Schirmeier, Brit Betreff: favor and help Dear Ms. Klemke-Schirmeier: Many years ago, in 2009 to be precise, I and all my colleagues of the Jewish Library Network of Chicago had the privilege of meeting and welcoming Frau General Direktor Barbara Schneider Kempf from the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin when she attended the 44th annual convention of the Association of Jewish Libraries in Chicago. Frau General Direktor Barbara Schneider Kempf was very generous in offering to address our group and we were very honored by this gesture. I would like to enquire if Frau Schneider Kempf would be interested in joining us again next year, when the Association of Jewish Libraries meets in June (2016) in Charleston, South Carolina, a beautiful city in the South of the United States. As you can imagine we would be delighted and thrilled to welcome her again.
