The Multi Media Centre consists of a reference library, a collection of documents on microfilm and/or
microfiche, and audio - visual media.
It contains research literature, reference works, memorial books, eyewitness accounts, literary
works, and books for children and young adults. All of this material deals with topics relating to
the history of the Jews in Europe, anti-Semitism, National Socialism, racism, neo-Nazism, memorial
culture, and the confrontation with the history of National Socialism from 1945 till today. Further
emphasis is placed on the educational aspects of the Memorial Site.
A considerable part of the
holding is in languages other than German.
The audio-visual media deal with the same range of topics as the books and periodicals. The microfilm document collection consists primarily of periodicals, comprising the years 1920 to 1945, and archival material. A collection of newspaper clippings dating back to 1992 documents the current state of discussion on the history of National Socialism.
The online catalogue of the holding is available electronically and can be used via the internet in

The main purpose of the Joseph Wulf Library is to support seminar participants in expanding their
knowledge. However, books and other media are also available to individual visitors who can use them
in the library. Seminar groups and individual visitors can approach the staff for advice on how to
use the collection, and for help with those specific topics in which they are interested.
The Joseph Wulf Library is open to the public
from Monday to Friday 10.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m.
