Until recently, very few people knew about Rokhl Auerbach, a remarkable woman who survived the Holocaust and then dedicated her life to preserving the memories of its victims. Join us for a discussion with renowned scholar Samuel D. Kassow (Trinity College) about Auerbach’s memoir "Warsaw Testament," which paints a vivid portrait of the city’s prewar Yiddish literary and artistic community and of its destruction at the hands of the Nazis. Professor Kassow’s new translation of the work received a National Jewish Book Award in the category of Holocaust Memoir in January 2025. The talk is free and open to the public. A dessert reception will follow the lecture. Visit the Bildner Center website for details and registration.
