OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Rebecca Wolpe has a BA in Hebrew from Wadham College, Oxford, and an MA and PhD in Yiddish from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She has worked at Yad Vashem for around nineteen years in various capacities, including guiding in the museum and translating/editing various books. She has also translated documents from the Ringelblum Archive as well as other private memoirs.
About the lecture: Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a lot of Holocaust documents, including some in Yiddish that have only now been translated. I would like to share some of the amazing stories I’ve encountered, including a look at the original Yiddish manuscripts, some difficulties we’ve encountered and some startling coincidences.
Buffet reception from 19:00 – RSVP for buffet mailto:info@oxfordchabad.org
Lecture will be in person and also viewable via Zoom:
