Event Description
A lecture and performance by Anna Shternshis, PhD, and Psoy Korolenko.
Anna Shternshis, PhD, recently discovered previously unknown Yiddish songs created and sung by Holocaust survivors and collected and recorded by dedicated researchers of the displaced Kiev Cabinet for Jewish Culture during WWII. Confiscated and hidden by the Soviet government in 1949, Psoy Korolenko and Anna now bring them to life in a new form.
Join our audience in this rare opportunity to savor an all new lecture-concert that is a testament to the creativity of the Yiddish-speaking Holocaust survivors who ran eastward into the Soviet Union.
Shternshis is the Al and Malka Green Associate Professor in Yiddish Studies and the Associate Director of the Anne Tannenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Toronto, and the author of “Soviet and Kosher” (Indiana Univ. Press). Psoy Korolenko, of Moscow, is an “avant-bard” singer/songwriter and renowned klezmer performer.
Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Support for this event comes from The Yiddish Studies Fund of the Judaic Studies Program, the Louis and Bessie Stein Foundation, The Milton and Miriam Handler Foundation, and the Friends of Judaic Studies.
