Tourist’s Guide to Lost Yiddish New York City

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

September 18 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm  

Author Henry H. Sapoznik’s The Tourist’s Guide to Lost Yiddish New York City offers a fresh perspective on more than a century of New York’s Yiddish popular culture. Henry, a Peabody Award–winning coproducer of NPR’s Yiddish Radio Project, will guide us through his exploration of theater, music, architecture, crime, Blacks-Jews relations, restaurants, real estate, and journalism. Drawing from over five thousand Yiddish and English newspaper articles and incorporating  new research from previously inaccessible materials, Henry presents fresh insights into the remarkable and consequential influence of Yiddish culture on New York City.
