The focal point of the library is the Memorial Book Collection. Memorial books, known as, yizkor books in Hebrew and Yiddish, are published by various individuals, organizations or corporate bodies to commemorate the Jewish presence and victims of a particular location. Individual works vary in scope, language and size, but all serve as remembrances. Their use as historical documents and genealogical tools is invaluable.
