‘Let Us Come Together in the Places of Worship’
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: For survivors of the Shoah in 1945 Amsterdam, broadsides or single-sheet prints, such as proclamations and circular letters, had an important disseminating function. This article highlights the first efforts of relief, religious, cultural, and Zionist organisations to rebuild Jewish community life at various locations in the city through a selection of broadsides from the collections of the Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana, the Jewish Cultural Quarter, and Amsterdam’s Orthodox Ashkenazi congregation ( NIHS ). It is a first attempt to demonstrate the significance of looking at this type of source for the liminal early post-war period.
