| Details | Seymour Public Library is excited to participate in The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Group for Public Libraries, a reading and discussion program to encourage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. In this program librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their Library. The book discussed on February 6 will be “On the Landing” by Yenta Mash. Born in 1922 Yenta Mash and her parents were exiled to a Siberian Labor Camp in 1941. Escaping in 1948, Yenta Mash settled in Moldova for some time before immigrating to Israel in 1977 where she began to publish. Discussion will focus on these selected stories in the book: “Bridegroom Tree”, “The Payback”, “Resting Place” and “A Seder in the Taiga”. The book will be available at the Library’s circ desk. For those interested, an accompanying video will be available pertaining either to the book, the author, or the book’s translator. To register for this free discussion series or for more information about the series please email [email protected] or call 203 – 888-3903 ext. 5. This series is made possible due to support from the Yiddish Book Center. The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin. |
