In person and on ZoomThe destruction of Eastern European Yiddish-speaking Jewry and its established cultural centers during the Holocaust necessitated a complex reevaluation of the relationship between the perceived former periphery of Yiddish literary capitals, which included Lodz, Warsaw, and Vilnius, and the new, emerging Yiddish centers of Buenos Aires and Montreal. A particularly intriguing case is the literary production in the Soviet territory behind the Iron Curtain. These structural dynamics intricately link the multifaceted roles of writers, editors, translators, and, ultimately, publishers.
Join YIVO for a panel discussion featuring Rachelle Grossman, Matt Johnson, Harriet Murav, and Christin Zühlke, moderated by Erin McGlothlin, as they delve into the elaborate dynamics of Yiddish writing and publishing across transnational literary networks after the Holocaust. They will also discuss the intertwined topics of audience, translations, self-translations, and the profound impact of Holocaust memory and testimony.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
