Letters from the Afterlife: Post-Holocaust Correspondence

Diversity and Inclusion, Literature, Lectures, and Talks, Online Event

September 25 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm  

Childhood friends in Poland, Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson lived through the Lodz Ghetto and the death camps together, parting soon after their liberation from Bergen-Belsen. For the next fifty years, Rosenfarb and Larsson continued their friendship through letters as both went on to become distinguished novelists in their respective languages, Yiddish and Swedish. Letters from the Afterlife chronicles the experiences of these friends and Holocaust survivors as they adjust to life in their adopted countries of Canada and Sweden. Rosenfarb’s daughter, Goldie Morgentaler, will discuss the significance of their friendship.
