Confessions of a Yiddish Writer: The Life and Work of Chava Rosenfarb

Hosted By: Yiddish Book Center (Amherst, MA)

In this new online course, participants will learn about Chava Rosenfarb, a major Yiddish novelist, essayist, and short story writer, who was one of the few writers to compose fiction about the Holocaust in Yiddish. A survivor of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belson, her works remain essential reading on World War II-era and postwar Jewish life.

All sessions will be held live via Zoom and recordings will be made available to registrants. No knowledge of Yiddish is required.
