Mapping Memorial Books: Tracing the Commemorative Legacy of Yiddish Yizkor Books

映射纪念图书（MMB）将集中在战后犹太纪念写作的幸存者在大屠杀后创建的周期。从20世纪40年代起，出现了1,000多本纪念书籍，描绘了欧洲失落的社区。许多人用意第绪语，一种公众基本上无法接触的语言。通过交叉参考格拉斯哥犹太社区的档案记录和伊兹科尔书籍的语料库，该项目将绘制格拉斯哥犹太移民回到其祖先城镇的地图。该项目首次利用这一档案，将为战前犹太人生活和大屠杀记忆的研究增添深度和细微差别

Mapping Memorial Books (MMB) will focus on the post-war cycle of Jewish commemorative writing created by survivors in the aftermath of the Holocaust. From the 1940s onwards, over 1,000 memorial books appeared, depicting lost communities in Europe. Many were in Yiddish, a language largely inaccessible to the public. By cross-referencing archival records of the Glaswegian Jewish community with the corpus of Yizkor books, this project will map Jewish immigration in Glasgow back to its ancestral towns. Employing this archive for the first time, the project will add depth and nuance to the study of pre-war Jewish life and Holocaust memory
