This collection consists of approximately 1,650 titles, of which about 800 deal with the Jews of the former Soviet Union, about 600 with Polish Jewry, and the remainder with the Jews of Hungary, Romania, the Czech and Slovak Republics, the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. Especially noteworthy is the Library's 400-volume collection of memorial books for Jewish communities destroyed during the Nazi Holocaust. These books, written primarily in Yiddish or Hebrew, but quite often including articles in English or other Western languages, are important sources for the study of Jewish history in Eastern Europe, and for the study of local community history as well.
