Scholars in Session: Emotions in Yiddish Ghetto Diaries with Amy Simon, Serling Institute MSU

Associate Professor Amy Simon uses an empathic reading of Yiddish diarists’ feeling, evaluations, and assessments about persecutors in the Warsaw, Lodz, and Vilna ghettos to present an emotional history of persecution in the Nazi ghettos.

SAJE programming is endowed by a generous gift from Cis Maisel and supported by Carol & Ronald P. Fogel, Sheri & David Jaffa, and Elaine & Michael Serling through The J’s Pillar of Light Program. SAJE inspires meaningful connections and important conversations. This program is proudly supported by the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan.
