Confessions of a Yiddish Writer and Other Essays
Abstract
Chava Rosenfarb (1923-2011) was one of the most prominent Yiddish novelists of the second half of the twentieth century. Born in Poland in 1923, she survived the Łódź ghetto, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen, immigrating to Canada in 1950 and settling in Montreal. There she wrote novels, poetry, short stories, plays, and essays, including her 1972 Der boym fun lebn, translated into English as The Tree of Life: A Trilogy of Life in the Lodz Ghetto, a seminal novel on the Holocaust.
