No Time to Lose: A Tribute to Jura Soyfer

Close to what would have been Jura Soyfer’s 100th birthday, the Austrian Cultural Forum is presents an evening dedicated to the great Austrian poet, playwright, songwriter, critic, essayist, and novelist. Jura Soyfer was born December 8, 1912 and was murdered at the age of 27 by the Nazis in Buchenwald. His work lives on, and to this day serves as an inspiration for people around the world who are fighting oppression and tyranny.

Actors and producers Stephanie Schmiderer and Markus Hirnigel will read excerpts from Soyfer’s writings, and journalist JM Stim will provide the biographical context.
