Inspiring Connections: Igniting Critical Thinking and Communication through Global News

June 27–28, 2019

University of Chicago campus

9:00am–4:00pm both days

Yenta Mash (1922-2013) was a giant among women
writing in Yiddish. Drawn from her own tumultuous
life, her stories trace an arc across continents, across
upheavals and regime changes, and across the phases
of a woman’s life from girlhood to old age. Mash documents
a lost world of Eastern European Jewish life,
Siberian exile, Soviet Moldova, and the challenges of
immigrant life in Israel.
