I gave the lecture on poetry by IRENA KLEPFISZ and talk about her forthcoming book, Her Birth and Later Years during the 2022 Yiddish Seminar/ Jiddischseminarium in Stockholm, organised by Sveriges Jiddischförbundet.
It is impressive even with excellent talks and meetings, a fantastic atmosphere and a chance to revisit the Yiddish culture, literature, and politics past and present. See the overview.
