Dear AJL Members,


USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education is

team within Information Technology Services. This position reports to the USC 
Shoah Foundation Manager of Metadata.

The Thesaurus Specialist (Library Tech Specialist) will be responsible for 
overseeing and expanding the Institute’s circa 70,000-term thesaurus used for 
indexing its Holocaust and genocide collections of audio- and audiovisual oral 
histories. The thesaurus management work involves researching, writing, and 
organizing indexing terms, as well as creating the appropriate hierarchical 
structures according to existing standards (USC Shoah Foundation Thesaurus 
Management Guidelines) and using proprietary software.

USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education develops 
empathy, understanding, and respect through testimony, using its Visual History 
Archive of more than 55,000 video testimonies, academic programs and 
partnerships across USC and 170 universities, and award-winning I Witness 
education program. USC Shoah Foundation's interactive programming, research and 
materials are accessed in museums and universities, cited by government leaders 
and NGOs, and taught in classrooms around the world. Now in its third decade, 
USC Shoah Foundation reaches millions of people on six continents from its home 
at the University of Southern California.

Initially a repository of Holocaust testimony, the Visual History Archive has 
expanded to include testimonies from the Armenian Genocide that coincided with 
World War I, the 1937 Nanjing Massacre in China, the Cambodian Genocide of 
1975-1979, the Guatemalan Genocide of 1978-1983, the 1994 Genocide against the 
Tutsi in Rwanda, and the ongoing conflicts in the Central African Republic and 
South Sudan, War and Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and anti-Rohingya mass 
violence. It also includes testimonies about contemporary acts of violence 
against Jews.

Dear Colleagues,

With the conference behind us, we are looking forward to our monthly

European Jewish archival heritage. Covering over 12,000 archival
collections in 550 institutions of 28 countries, Yerusha operates as a
central, online catalogue of Jewish and Jewish-related archival holdings.
The presentation will provide a demonstration of the database’s various
features and it will touch upon the potential future development of the
resource. Gabor Kadar is the Director of the Yerusha Project, a digital
humanities initiative by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe. He is
also a recurrent visiting professor of the Jewish Studies Program at the
Central European University (Budapest-Vienna). Former Senior Historian of
the Hungarian Jewish Archives (Budapest), Dr Kadar is the author and
co-author of six monographs and numerous studies and articles regarding
various aspects of the Holocaust and the history of Jews in Hungary. He has
lead and participated in archival research projects for the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem. Dr Kadar is member of the Digital
Forum Advisory Board of the European Association of Jewish Studies.

Dear Mr. Galron;

As per our conversation:
I recently self-published a limited edition book in the field of Judaica. 
Brandeis University Press advised me to to turn to Randall Press, and ( with my 
input) they did, a stunning job.(The Metropolitan Museum of Art requested a 
copy from me)  

Title:
Czenstochower Yizkerbukh, by Chonon Kiel, An Illuminated Manuscript,Edited 
Translated with an Introduction by Mark W. Kiel
Czestochowa was a major center of pre-Holocaust Jewish life in Poland.During 
the fall holiday season, September-October, 1942, more then 40,000 Jews, 95 
percent of the population, were murdered

I am interested in having my book distributed to libraries, universities, and 
book shops that have Holocaust Studies and Judaica departmentsin the U.S. 
Canada, Israel, Germany and England. The price of the book can be determined by 
you.
I would greatly appreciate whatever help, to what ever extent, you could afford 
me.

Your name was given to me by Ina Cohen, librarian at the Jewish Theological 
Seminary, in New York.
My telephone number is 201- 294- 9788, or house phone, 845-504-5554. Best to 
reach me by email: r...@aol.com.I would be happy to send you a sample copy
