The "Spiegel Fellows" Forum

In November 2018 the "Spiegel Fellows" Forum was founded at the Arnold and Leona Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research at Bar-Ilan University. The forum, named after Holocaust survivors and philanthropists Abraham and Edita Spiegel, created an initial community of 50 researchers and activists in fields connected to antisemitism and Holocaust.

The researchers connected with the program are all conducting active research projects about the Holocaust and its aftermath, or those dealing with historical and contemporary Antisemitism. The activists are all involved in public projects to combat Antisemitism and strengthen the memory and commemoration of the Holocaust. In addition, the Forum includes a post-doctoral track in which post- doctoral candidates work directly under the guidance of the Institute's Director, Prof. Judy Baumel-Schwartz, conducting research into various aspects of the Holocaust and its aftermath.

None of the fellows receive a salary from the Institute. Instead they are part of a warm and active Institute community where they can access the library databases, have a "Fellows center" where they can sit and work, and hold monthly meetings where they can present their research and activities. As word of the Spiegel Fellows forum spread through the academic community, additional candidates –researchers, activists, and post-doctoral candidates - have approached the Finkler Institute's Director and asked to join the forum. The forum is coordinated by Dr. Itzik Pass, coordinator of the Finkler Institute.

The Institute holds an annual Spiegel Fellows Conference open to the public where the Fellows speak about their projects and present their results. The first Spiegel Fellows Conference was held on May 20, 2019 at Bar-Ilan University.

In view of the pandemic, from September 2020 Dr. Itzik Pass, Institute coordinator and coordinator of the Spiegel Forum, turned the annual Spiegel  Forum Conference into a yearlong event. Each week one conference participant from the forum gives a zoom lecture which is later uploaded to the Institute's youtube channel.
