Anna Rozenfeld, Shoshke-Rayzl Juni

Anna Rozenfeld talks about Polish Yiddish
radio and discusses Celia Dropkin and reads some of her Yiddish
poetry. Rozenfeld is an artist, an independent researcher, and
a teacher and translator of Yiddish, as well as a former
Yiddish radio journalist and presenter. Until 2012 she hosted
the Yiddish radio program Naye Khvalyes, broadcast by Polish
Radio External Service. In the mid-2010's, she presented her
own research on Yiddish-language programming on Polish radio,
1945-1958. Her translations into Polish of Yiddish poems by
Celia Dropkin (1887–1956) appears in the just-published
tri-lingual (Yiddish, German, Polish) book Alef-Bejs der Liebe
(2019, Arco Verlag). Publisher info here:

Shoshke-Rayzl Juni is a Yiddish activist who
was living and working in New York City a short distance from
the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. In this
interview, recorded exactly 18 years later, she describes the
experience of seeing the towers collapse before her eyes on
September 11, 2001, and reflects on that experience with 18
years' hindsight.

From the archive: Rav Avrohom Marmorstein: a
discussion of the High Holidays, and also a little about the
rabbi, his background, and about Yiddish. Rav Marmorstein is the
director of Mehadrin Kashrus on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
