On 22 October 2024, the German Embassy London’s Deputy Head of Mission, Karl-Matthias Klause, visited the new offices of the Leo Baeck Institute London in Bloomsbury.
Klause was welcomed by Dr Joseph Cronin, Director of LBI London, and members of his team. During the visit, the Deputy Ambassador was given a tour of the new office, which is now located near partners Birkbeck, University of London, the German Historical Institute London, and the Wiener Holocaust Library.
Reflecting on the visit, Dr Cronin remarked: “It was a pleasure to welcome Deputy Ambassador Klause to our office. We had the chance to talk about the wide range of work that we do, and it was very encouraging to hear that the German Embassy is committed to helping us explore and promote German-Jewish history and culture.”
Klause’s visit highlighted the institute’s impact in promoting German-Jewish cultural heritage and advancing academic exchange between Germany and the UK.
