Voices of the Warsaw Ghetto

Join us for a riveting conversation with Warsaw and Vilna Ghetto expert Dr. Samuel Kassow as he tells the story of Rokhl Auerbach, one of the three surviving members of the Oyneg Shabbes Archive (depicted in the film Who Will Write Our History, which we screened last year at The Vilna).
Auerbach’s tales of both the Ghetto and the Aryan side of the occupied city provide an unmatched portrait of the last days of Warsaw’s Yiddish literary and cultural community— and of her own struggle to survive.
Dr. Kassow will be in conversation with Dr. Sylvia Fuks Fried, Executive Director of the Tauber Institute for Eastern European Studies at Brandeis.
