ON THE DEATH OF DR. ECKART FREY
[05.04.1949 - 12.06.2024]
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Eckart Frey z"l from Magdeburg, one of the greatest friends of the JCI in Germany and a cooperation partner for some decades. May his memory be blessed.
Im September 1997 fand am Carlebach-Institut das erste Seminar für Studierende der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg statt, das von Dr. Eckart Frey initiiert und geleitet wurde.
Dieses Seminar begründete eine Tradition von Seminaren zum Thema 'Jüdische Geschichte und Erbe in Deutschland und Israel', die etwa 20 Jahre lang fortgesetzt wurde.
Auf dem Bild sind Dr. Eckart Frey (rechts), Prof. Dr. Ephraim Meir und Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach am Eröffnungstag des Seminars im Carlebach-Institut zu sehen.

CILLY CARLEBACH [1911-1968]
In the Carlebach Family Archive, there is a collection of items related to Cilly, the daughter of Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Carlebach from Leipzig. An educated and energetic young woman, she contracted polio in her youth, which left her dependent on the care of her family and close surroundings. Despite this, she learned secretarial work and stenography, and maintained correspondence with friends and family. The collection prominently features her correspondence with her close friend, nurse Anni Steinberg (Jablonski), from the period between 1927 and 1940, which documents, among other things, the tragic story of the family's attempted emigration from Leipzig (Germany) under the Nazi threat.

'THE END OF GERMAN JEWRY IS UPON US':
Rabbi Joseph Tzvi Carlebach (1883-1942) - End of an Epoch.
By Dr. Meir Seidler.
Bar-Ilan University Press, 2023.
The way Rabbi Carlebach dealt with the events of his time expresses not only his complex and unique personality, but also sheds light on the deep intellectual and emotional involvement of most of the German rabbis in the culture that gave birth to the monster that eventually destroyed their communities..
