We are devastated over the loss of life and destruction of property and wish to offer support in any way we can to assist in this very difficult situation. There are many important Judaica collections in Ukraine, including in the state libraries, archives large and small, museums, and university collections in the hard-hit cities of Kharkov and Kyiv, as well as throughout the country. We are hoping and praying for the safety and care of the custodians of these collections, many of whom are friends and colleagues, and for their families and the broader Ukrainian nation.
