The JCI Library, established in 1992, is a specialized collection comprising approximately 4,000 volumes that cover a wide range of topics including Judaism, German-Jewish history, Holocaust research, Jewish education, and related fields.
The library's foundation is rooted in the personal book collection of its founder, Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach, which forms the core of its holdings.
In addition to Prof. Gillis-Carlebach's collection, the library has grown significantly through strategic acquisitions and the integration of notable private collections belonging to Rabbi Dr. Hans I. Grunewald, Dr. Moritz Stern, and Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Carlebach. These contributions have enriched the historical and theological dimensions of the collection.
The JCI Research Library offers a comprehensive selection of scholarly works, monographs, and reference materials that support academic inquiry and study.
