Greetings,
I haven’t a lot to announce this month. This is not to say that I haven’t been hard at work, nor that I haven’t a lot of new material already prepared to be put online, etc. Much of this will have to wait to be announced as part of an even larger package that will hopefully be ready by January or February of next year.
In the meantime:
1.. Zionism in Europe: a series of twelve pages dealing with the various Zionist youth movements that existed in Europe pre-World War II, e.g. the Betarim, Hashomer Hatzair, the Gordonia, Maccabi Hatzair (sports), Yugen Freiheit, Poalei Zion, Hapoel Hatzair, and the Hachalutz pioneering movement. www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/mfh-zionism.htm
2.. Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger was a fourteen-year-old poet, a native of Czernowitz, Ukraine. Tragically she perished in a Nazi SS camp in December 1942. Fortunately we are blessed that her many works survived. You can read about her at www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/cz-meerbaum-eisinger.htm
3.. Walk in My Shoes: Collected Memories of the Holocaust: Istvan Katona from Kartal, Hungary. www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/wims-katona-istvan.htm. Istvan/Stephen was in Buchenwald and Mauthausen.
4.. Yiddish great Maurice Schwartz's biography, next four chapters in the series. www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/mschwartz-ok-ch40-43.htm. Final chapters next month.
5.. You might like to visit one of my “works-in-progress,” an exhibition devoted to the city of Czernowitz, Ukraine. My suggestion is that you only use the links from the main page, as not all the links on the other pages are functional. www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/czernowitz.htm .
6.. I recently attended the 12th annual International Association of Yiddish Clubs conference in La Jolla, California. I was able to record more than a dozen lectures, many of which I will be offering transcripts of on my site, as I find the time to transcribe them all and get them online. These web pages will include some audio and perhaps video clips from the lectures, all done with the permission of the conference organizer and the speakers themselves. The theme of the conference was “Czernowitz: 100 Years Later,” i.e. one hundred years after the first Czernowitz Conference on the Yiddish language. Hopefully, next month I will be able to announce that some transcripts are ready to be viewed, etc. They will all be part of my ERC (Education and Research Center) Lecture Series.
My best to all of you,
Steven Lasky
