CONFESSIONS OF A YIDDISH WRITER: THE LIFE AND WORK OF CHAVA ROSENFARB
 
Wednesdays, January 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2024, 7:00–8:30 p.m. ET
 
Chava Rosenfarb (1923–2011), a major Yiddish novelist, essayist, and short story writer, was one of the few writers to compose fiction about the Holocaust in Yiddish. Her works remain essential reading on World War II-era and postwar Jewish life.

Join the Yiddish Book Center’s Seb Schulman, Rosenfarb’s daughter and translator Goldie Morgentaler, and other special guests to delve into Rosenfarb’s short stories, essays, and novel excerpts, while considering questions of translation, literary portrayal of genocide and atrocity, and the challenges of being a woman Yiddish writer.

All sessions are held live via Zoom. Recordings will be available to all registrants.
