Registration for the course will open in Winter 2025.
This course will use wartime writings from the Warsaw Ghetto, as well as postwar memoirs, to examine the cultural and spiritual life of the Warsaw Ghetto. There will be special emphasis on readings from the Oyneg Shabes archive in the Warsaw Ghetto and from the recently translated memoirs of Rokhl (Rachel) Auerbach. Of the sixty Jews who worked with Ringelblum in the secret archive, Auerbach was one of only three survivors. Her postwar memoirs are a moving testament to the writers, poets, historians, journalists, and ordinary Jews who perished in the Holocaust.
