This book is the first systematic history of Jewish archiving activities in the twentieth century, with an emphasis on Germany, the United States, and Israel/Palestine. It argues that collecting and preserving archives was not only about the past, but also about the future. A series of case studies showcase how the question of who could claim to "own" history led to contentious debates and struggles, both before the Holocaust and especially in its aftermath in the context of the restitution of Nazi-looted archives.
