The Leo Baeck Institute London, founded in 1955 and named after the last public representative of the Jewish community in Nazi Germany, is devoted to the study of German-Jewish history and culture. The LBI is an independent charity and aims to preserve and research this history by organizing innovative research projects, Fellowship programmes, and public events. Likewise, it encourages the study of the German and European Jewish experience from the 17th to the 21st centuries to help understand contemporary socio-political debates concerning immigration, minorities, integration, and civil rights. Therefore, through the lens of German-Jewish history, the Institute seeks to address some of the most topical and timely questions of our times.
