Jewish Digital Cultural Recovery Project: The Collections of Albert Einstein and Eugen Spiros

Online-Talk with Ariela Braunschweig & Dr. Ruth Weinberger

The need for a central database for cultural assets that were largely looted from Jewish owners during the Nazi era has been generally recognized since the end of the Second World War. However, the concept of a comprehensive database at object level was not concretely tackled until the Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets in 1998, which established ethical standards for restitution and encouraged provenance research.

Against this backdrop, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) and the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO) recognized the need for international cooperation in creating a central platform for the worldwide dissemination of looted cultural property and related archives.

The Jewish Digital Cultural Recovery Project (JDCRP) is active in documentation, research and education and aims to compile the relevant archives and documents in a central database, analyze in-depth topics such as Jewish artists, collectors and Jewish-owned collections, and demonstrate the scope and impact of the theft.

In an online talk, we would like to enter into conversation with provenance researcher Ariela Braunschweig and Claims Conference historian Dr. Ruth Weinberger. Two case studies, which are currently being investigated in the JDCRP project, shed light on the fates of the collections of the artist Eugen Spiro (1874-1972) and the scientist Albert Einstein. Both lived in Berlin, were persecuted because of their Jewish origins and had to flee abroad.

The talk will be held in English.

Start: 6 p.m

Participation is free of charge. You will receive the link (Zoom) by email around mid-morning on December 2.The number of participants is limited.Translated with DeepL
