Accepted Paper:
Yiddish Perspectives on the Ova Herero-Namaqua Genocide
Astrid Starck-Adler
(Université de Haute-Alsace, Institut de recherche ILLE UR 4363)
Paper short abstract:
An unexplored field is the reception of the Herero-Nama Genocide in Yiddish journalistic, historical and literary texts written by Yiddish-speaking authors from Namibia and South Africa, were they emigrated in the 19th and 20th century.
Paper long abstract:
The Herero-Nama genocide couldn't be ignored by the Jewish population that fled pogroms and persecution. But its discovery by Holocaust survivors from the Lithuanian ghettos of Vilnius and Kovno, the writers and poets Avrom Sutzkever and Dovid Wolpe, who emigrated to South Africa in 1951, opens new perspectives.
