Dear Ha-Safran Members, I am writing to inform you that a jointly sponsored YIVO-American Sephardi Federation Lecture entitled: "Discovering Salonika, the Jerusalem of the Balkans:Perspectives and Insights Gleaned from the YIVO Archives" will take place at the Center for Jewish History on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 7 pm. The lecture will be accompanied by a Powerpoint demonstration with samples of documents from the collection. Refreshments will be served from 6:30 to 7:00. As seating is limited advance registration is required. To make a reservation please call 212-294-6143 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sponsored by the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and the American Sephardi Federation with Sephardic House, the lecture will be given by Devin Naar, Project Historian of the Archive of the Jewish Community of Salonika housed in the YIVO Archives. Mr. Naar has been accepted into the Doctoral Program in Jewish History at Stanford University and is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship for study in Greece. The Salonika Project at YIVO, whose objective is to catalog, microfilm and digitize the Records of the Jewish Community of Salonika in the YIVO Archives, is funded by the Maurice Amado Foundation and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The American Sephardi Federation also provides bibliographic resources and intellectual support. An Academic Advisory Committee, consisting of leading scholars of Sephardic and Greek Jewry, has been formed to provide guidance to project staff. The YIVO Salonika Collection holds fragmentary records of the Jewish Communal Council of Salonika, primarily for the interwar period. The majority of the Jewish community of Salonika was killed in Auschwitz in 1943.
