On Auctions of Books of Jewish Communities of Genealogical Value and What Can Be Done About Them
Presented (in Hebrew) by Mattan Segev-Frank

In Israel and abroad there is an extensive market for auctions of valuable historical items. In recent years, a number of cases have been published, such as the attempts to sell the tattoo accessories of the numbers of prisoners from Auschwitz, drafts of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, letters of girls and boys murdered in the Holocaust. Among all these, community books of enormous genealogical value documenting births, words, marriages and deaths in Jewish communities from across Central and Eastern Europe frequently go on sale. In the past two years, Mattan Segev-Frank has set himself the goal of trying to raise global awareness of the phenomenon, and to work to remove these books from private dealers and restore them to the public domain in order to preserve Jewish history and documentation of genealogy. In his lecture, he will talk about the activity that has already been carried out, possible courses of action and the different approaches to treating the phenomenon.
