About this program:
The Lessons of Yiddish Holocaust Poetry
Featuring: Samuel Spinner
Sam Spinner discusses poetry by Rokhl Korn and Rajzel Zychlinski, exploring the ways in which students can engage with poetic texts as a pathway to deeper historical understanding through perspective-taking and context analysis, rather than seeing literature as instrumentalized to provide a clear moral message about the past.
