Holocaust and Post-Holocaust Yiddish Theatre in Montreal: A Canadian Response to Catastrophe
|
| Abstract |
The author examines Yiddish theater in Montreal as a Canadian response to the Holocaust. She discusses wartime and post-war ventures to establish permanent, locally trained Yiddish theater troupes in the city, notably by two individuals: Chayele Grober (1894–1978) and Dora Wasserman (1919–2003). She examines the repertoire and rhetoric associated with each of these Yiddish community theater projects and the responses of each theater to the Holocaust. The author argues that the two theater studios bracket a transitional period in Montreal's Yiddish life within a Jewish immigrant center as it was shifting from an outpost to a hub of Yiddish cultural production on the international stage.
