Had a wonderful evening @wienerlibrary.bsky.social celebrating Dr Jennifer Rich’s @rowanuniversity.bsky.social latest book, Paper Tombs, on the inner worlds of Yizkor books. We also got the chance to explore some of our collection. Thank you to all who attended & to Dr Rich for the moving lecture

I’ve been incredibly lucky to work alongside @joannasliwa24.bsky.social and Betsy Anthony on this project. We so appreciated the high level of interaction and engagement from early career researchers on this lesser researched area (earlier pic from DC). Thank you to everyone who participated!
