| Details | Seymour Public Library is excited to participate in The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries, a reading and discussion program to engage 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 21st will be “In the Land of the Postscript” by Chava Rosenfarb. Chava Rosenfarb was born in Lodz, Poland in 1923. A survivor of Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen Ms. Rosenfarb immigrated with her husband in 1950 to Canada where she published works in Yiddish. Chava Rosenfarb is respected as one of the most important Yiddish novelists of the post War period. The stories that will be discussed from the book are “Greenhorn” and “April 19th” are translated from Yiddish into English by her daughter. 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. |
