A YIVO Institute for Jewish Research Questionnaire

The YIVO Archives is built from the stories and experiences of the Jewish community. Our materials record all aspects of Jewish life around the world. They document times of prosperity, times of change, and times of great adversity. From its earliest years, YIVO collected the experiences of the Jewish people in their own words. Today, as the COVID-19 pandemic affects the world in unprecedented ways, we are asking the Jewish community once again to share its stories. Please fill out the form below with your experiences and help us document Jewish life during this time.
