Facing the Holocaust through Yiddish Poetry

Both during and after the Holocaust, Yiddish poets turned to writing in order to respond to their grief and anger. In this talk, we'll read and discuss work by some of the Yiddish language's greatest poets, and explore the ways they tried to express the inexpressible, using art as a means of reckoning with the destruction of European Jewish civilization.

Danny Kraft is a poet, educator, and Yiddish translator. His poems, essays, and translations have appeared in numerous publications, and been featured by the Academy of American Poets.
