Coming on November 4: Rokhl Oyerbakh, The Bridge Between Wartime and Postwar Testimony

I wanted to make sure you're all aware of a truly special  conference coming up on November 4th: 

Rokhl Oyerbakh, The Bridge Between Wartime and Postwar Testimony

Presented by the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University Library

I just got the official program and it looks amazing. Talks go from Oyerbakh's formative years as a public intellectual to her participation in the Oyneg Shabes group in the Warsaw Ghetto to her tireless work gathering testimony and evidence in the post-war period.

Oyerbakh is a hero of mine and I wrote a little bit about her legacy here. I'm very much looking forward to this groundbreaking examination of her life and work.
