IAJGS2016Discussion Mailing List: Yad Vashem Consultation Times-Resource Room

[Jan Meisels Allen (janmallen]

Dear Conference Attendees:

 

As mentioned in an earlier posting,  we will have available two representatives from Yad Vashem for consultations in the Resource Room: Dr. Alex Avraham, the director of the Hall of Names and  Zvi Bernhardt, Deputy Director of the Hall of Names Department and Deputy Director of the Reference and Information Department, Archives Division in Yad Vashem.

 

In addition to the Yad Vashem link on the resource room computers with their public information, Alex and Zvi will have on their own laptops available for consultations: the Yad Vashem names and archival database. The internal database on names is more extensive than the one accessible to the public through the link on the resource room computers. The one on their personal computers also includes information on some survivors. They will also have the ITS (Arolsen) database available.

 

On Wednesday August 10-ProQuest Day there will not be any consultations available.

 

To make certain that you get a chance to consult with either Dr. Avraham or  Zvi Bernhardt we will have set up in the Resource Room sign-up sheets.

 

The times that Yad Vashem representatives are available are:

 

Alex:  

August 9   Tuesday:  2:00-4:00 PM

August 11 Thursday:  09:00-11:00 PM

 

Zvi:

August 7    Sunday:  4:00PM-6:00PM

August 8    Monday:  9:-1:30 PM; 2:30-6:00PM

August 9   Tuesday: 9:00-1:00PM; 2:00-6:00 PM

August 11 Thursday: 9-12:30 PM; 3:00-5:00 PM

 

A similar posting will be made in late July as a reminder.

 

An email about the consultation hours for USHMM will be made in the near future.
