Book Launch | In the Land of the Postscript: The Complete Short Stories of Chava Rosenfarb

**__***Please note that this event is sold out of advance tickets. We will not
be accepting walk-ins.***__**

**On September 13, join us with the Yiddish Book Center for a discussion in
response to _In the Land of the Postscript: The Complete Short Stories of
Chava Rosenfarb_ , translated by Goldie Morgentaler. **

This collection, published by White Goat Press, the Yiddish Book Center’s
imprint, makes available in English for the first time all of Chava
Rosenfarb’s short stories in one place. Dealing with the lives of Holocaust
survivors in North America, these stories reflect Rosenfarb’s personal
experiences as a Holocaust survivor who settled in Montreal while also
inhabiting the minds of characters far different from herself. A discussion
between Goldie Morgentaler and Sebastian Schulman will be followed by a book
signing.

**Chava Rosenfarb** (1923–2011) was a major Yiddish novelist, essayist, short
story writer, and one of the few writers to compose Yiddish fiction about the
Holocaust. Her works remain essential reading on World War II–era and postwar
Jewish life. After beginning her literary career writing poetry in the Lodz
Ghetto, Rosenfarb endured Auschwitz and Bergen-Belson and lived in a displaced
persons camp before settling in Montreal.

**__Doors will open at 6:00pm.__**
