March 8 at 6:30pm CJH, LBI and YIVO present: Czernowitz in Jewish Memory
Czernowitz-"Vienna of the East"-is the site of two different powerful memories. To some, it was home to an
assimilationist Austro-German Jewish culture; to others, it was a hub for the creation of modern Yiddish language and culture. A panel of historians and writers, including Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer, the authors of a new volume entitled Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory, will discuss and debate the reconciliation of these two different memories within the broader history of Jewish emancipation, assimilation and resistance in Eastern Europe.
