Yiddish Ukraine: Songs and Stories March 24, 7 pm from the Yiddish Book Center: The long and complicated history of Jews in Ukraine has not always been a happy one, but it would be a mistake to think of it as an unmitigated series of pogroms and tragedy. To the contrary, the region gave rise to some of the greatest achievements of Jewish literature and culture, as the collections of the Yiddish Book Center bear witness. On Thursday, March 24, we pay tribute to this shared history with a prerecorded program of readings and songs from Yiddish works in translation by Yiddish writers from Ukraine.
