Abstract: The Hebrew word yad has several meanings in addition to its literal one, hand.One particular figurative sense of the word is a memorial or a memorialization project, such as in the name of the Holocaust remembrance center, Yad Vashem (borrowed from Isaiah 56:6).Most of the contributions in this issue of Judaica Librarianship (JL) commemorate horrific catastrophes in the history of the Jewish people through their lasting effects on Jewish individuals, organizations, heritage institutions such as libraries and archives, and information professionals.In this sense, Volume 23 is a yad to Jewish book and archival collections but also to stewards of the written word and cultural memory: librarians and archivists, authors and publishers, and booksellers.1.In an email note (June 18, 2024), Frenkel stated that, "we adhered quite 'religiously' to our policy of sticking to primary material created between 1933-1946."
