Rohkl Auerbach’s Warsaw Testament with Samuel Kassow
Hosted By: Yiddish Book Center (Amherst, MA)
The annual Melinda Rosenblatt Lecture features Samuel Kassow presenting his translation of Rohkl Auerbach’s “Warsaw Testament” (White Goat Press). Auerbach, a journalist and literary critic, was one of the three surviving members of the Oyneg Shabes, a secret group of archivists in the Warsaw Ghetto led by historian Emanuel Ringelbum. Her memoir, based on writings from her time in the ghetto and the Aryan side of Warsaw, offers a detailed account of the final days of Warsaw’s Yiddish literary and cultural community and her own survival efforts.
