Foregrounding the revival of Jewish culture in Germany after the Holocaust and restoring the forgotten and erased intellectual heritage of Jewish literature, culture, and scholarship to the collective memory.
The publicist, literary scholar and founder of the "Literaturhandlung" in Munich, Rachel Salamander, has donated her unique collection to the City of Munich. It includes key documents and records from the past 40 years covering all aspects of intellectual history of Jewish literature, culture and science as well as the reality of Jewish life in Germany. The Alfred Landecker Foundation is supporting the cataloguing, academic processing, conservation and digitisation of the Salamander archives as well as the preparation of a permanent and travelling exhibition.
