Trumah
Trumah aims to represent the entire spectrum of Jewish Studies. Each issue has a thematic focus. In addition, contributions from other areas of the discipline are also included. The journal is published once a year. The editorial deadline is the end of July. Articles in German, English and Hebrew with an English abstract can be submitted to the editorial office.
All issues of Trumah are available from Winter Verlag
The contributions collected here on the main topic of provenance research result from the workshop "Current Projects and Research on Nazi Looted Property" organized at the Heidelberg University of Jewish Studies.
The focus here is on objects such as books or ritual objects of Jewish origin, as they bear witness to both crimes and personal fates. The essays deal with Nazi forced labor in connection with expropriated Jewish libraries, with the demand to view Judaica in the light of provenance research and with the examination of specific collection holdings and objects - from their embedding in the historical context to their documentation and restitution practices. In this way, current provenance research bears witness to the social relevance of this young discipline.
