Library Of Lost Books

UX prototypes for an award-winning citizen science project

Library Of Lost Books

The Library of Lost Books is an international project initiated by the Leo Baeck Institute Jerusalem to shed light on the Higher Institute for Jewish Studies in Berlin. During the Holocaust, the Institute’s unique library was looted by the Nazis and its 60,000 volumes scattered across the world.

Alongside online and physical exhibitions, the project includes a citizen-science initiative inviting people to help trace the missing books. I supported the team by wireframing and prototyping the database.

The project was honored with a Grimme Online Award.
