The New Zamlers
Yiddish Oral Histories for the 2020s

Wednesdays at 5pm CET, 50 minutes, 22 October to 10 December on Zoom
Workshop fee: €90

"This fall, the Other Music Academy (best known as the organizer of Yiddish Summer Weimar) invites intermediate Yiddish students to join The New Zamlers, a seven-session online workshop that connects Germany and the United States through storytelling. Inspired by the historic zamlers—volunteers who once gathered words, folklore, and everyday accounts for the Yiddish archives—participants will interview each other to collect and present contemporary Yiddish life stories. The course, led by Adrien Smith (University of Texas at Austin) and Jake Schneider (Berlin-based Yiddish activist and poet), combines language practice with oral history training, peer-to-peer interviews, and reading and discussions about present-day Yiddish culture and community."

É com grande pesar que o IHC comunica o falecimento de Cristina Nogueira.

Investigadora do IHC desde há mais de uma década, faleceu no dia 10 de Outubro.

Empenhada cívica e politicamente, poucas pessoas souberam como ela, com a sua coragem, persistência e generosidade, articular investigação e acção cívica.

Lidia holds a photo of her younger self. She says: ‘Look how beautiful I was. Nothing is left, nothing.’

She was born in Mariupol. Her father rebuilt the Azovstal factory after WWII. Today, after Russia’s invasion, she says there’s nothing left to rebuild.

From an interview I did recently in Bat Yam, Israel.

Cornell University: Holocaust testimony is AI litmus test, and it fails. “When Cornell historian Jan Burzlaff asked ChatGPT to summarize the testimony of Luisa D., a seven-year-old Holocaust survivor, the AI tool left out the detail that her mother cut her own finger to give her dying child drops of blood – ‘the faintest trace of moisture’ – to stay alive. That omission, Burzlaff said, […]

@gharbeia I was thinking about that the whole time. I want to convince Hana Sleiman and Esmat elHalaby to do an #oralhistory project about the kindergarten. That place was one of the most incredible experiments in Palestinian politics.

CBC: U of Winnipeg project aims to keep stories of Mennonite immigration to Canada in 1920 from disappearing. “Researchers at the University of Winnipeg are working on what they say will be the largest oral history project on Mennonites in the country, trying to capture stories of those who fled the Soviet Union in the 1920s before those stories are lost.”
