DLD - Charity
Together with the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Burda initiated the project "virtual library dedicated to the German-Jewish history." In this virtual library everyone can become a sponsor by donating for selected publications. Sponsorship is a symbolic purchase and helps to raise funding for the university.
