SUMMARY:The Shtetl: Myth and Reality
DESCRIPTION:In this online lecture — part of a series celebrating YIVO’s  the 101st anniversary — YIVO Visiting Research Historian Samuel Kassow will explore the “real shtetl” and the “imagined shtetl\,” which both formed an integral part of Eastern European Jewish peoplehood. \nIndeed the “shtetl” meant many things to many people. For many Zionists and Jewish leftists\, the shtetl was a pathetic symbol of Jewish backwardness. Others cherished it as a place of real Jewishness\, that fixed point that gave Jews in the diaspora the feeling of being home. The destruction of the Holocaust encouraged this nostalgia for the lost shtetl\, especially as many Jews in the post-war world\, newly comfortable and secure in their new homes\, showed a new interest in their ethnic roots. \nNOTE: The talk will take place at 1 p.m. New York time\, or 7 p.m. CET. \nSamuel Kassow\, Charles H. Northam Professor of History at Trinity College\, holds a PhD from Princeton University and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Jewish Research. From 2006 until 2013\, he was the lead historian for two galleries of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw\, which opened in 2014. Professor Kassow is the author of Who Will Write Our History? Emanuel Ringelblum and the Secret Ghetto Archive (Indiana University Press\, 2007)\, which received the Orbis Prize of the AAASS; was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award; and has been translated into eight languages. White Goat Press recently published his translation of Warsaw Testament by Rokhl Auerbach\, which received a National Jewish Book Award. A child of Holocaust survivors\, Professor Kassow was born in a displaced-persons camp in Germany. \nThe lecture is free but registration is requited — click here to register \n
