Please join us for the upcoming AJL Roundtable:
*"A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of Jewish Culture"* Thursday, March 24, 2022 9:30AM PT / 12:30PM ET / 6:30PM Israel Time Dr. Jason Lustig, Lecturer and Israel Institute Teaching Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin’s Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies, will discuss his recent book *A Time to Gather: Archives and the Control of Jewish Culture*, published by Oxford University Press in December 2021. *A Time to Gather* is a transnational history of twentieth-century Jewish archives with a focus on Germany, the United States, and the state of Israel, and it argues that archives have never been neutral. Instead, by looking at the struggles over who might “own” Jewish history, both before the Holocaust and especially in its aftermath given the context of Nazi looting and post-war restitution, the book showcases how archives have always been battlegrounds not just over the Jewish past but also the possibilities of the future. Dr. Lustig will also discuss ongoing efforts to create monumental archives of the Jewish past, and how digitization magnifies, rather than mitigates, concerns about “owning” the past. * Register by March 22 to receive the introduction of the book prior to the program. Discussion is encouraged. Members-only event. The event is organized by the RAS Division and all AJL members are welcome.
