Show notes

Drawing from an in-depth oral history interview with Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, a short documentary film is now in production. Christa Whitney, director of the Yiddish Book Center's Wexler Oral History Project, talks about the film, BEYLE, which explores the life and legacy of Yiddish activist and artist Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman. Born in Vienna in 1920 and raised in Czernowitz, Beyle came to the United States after surviving the Holocaust and was a multi-talented artist, organizer, and activist. A Kickstarter campaign is underway through October 31, 2017 to complete the film. Episode 0161 October 26, 2017 Yiddish Book Center Amherst, Massachusetts
