Friends of Yiddish

On Thursday 8 September at 7pm, Rachel Lichtenstein will be hosting an event at the Manchester Jewish Museum paying tribute to Polish-born Yiddish poet Avram Stencl, who found refuge in the UK in 1936. This will include a screening of a short film about Stencl, readings of his poetry in Yiddish and English, and a discussion with members of the Manchester Jewish community, including Miriam Becker, Stencl’s great-niece, and Professor Dovid Katz, a close personal friend of Stencl.
