May God Avenge Their Blood: A Holocaust Memoir Triptych

May God Avenge Their Blood: A Holocaust Memoir Triptych presents three memoirs by the Yiddish writer Rachmil Bryks (1912–1974). The triptych takes the reader on a wide-ranging journey from Hasidic life before the Holocaust to the chaos of the early days of war and then to the horrors of Nazi captivity in Auschwitz. A new translation by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub brings these extraordinary memoirs to the English-language readers for the first time. Join us for a presentation by and discussion with translator Yermiyahu Ahron Taub and Bryks’ daughter, cultural activist Bella Bryks-Klein, exploring Bryks’ life and work, the genesis of this project, and the related holdings in YIVO’s collections.
