In honor of Franz Kafka’s birthday, click here to view Hans Fronius’s Kafka-Mappe, illustrations of Kafka scenes (Wien, 1946).

This publication is made available through an in-progress effort to digitally recreate Europe’s largest pre-Holocaust Judaica library. The $300,000 collaborative project entails digitizing copies of more than 1,000 books that went missing from the library during World War II. 

The project is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the German Research Foundation (DFG). The Leo Baeck Institute (one of the Center for Jewish History’s partners) will complete this work with the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.
