Sam Kassow, a leading historian of Polish Jewry and the Holocaust, and Stockbridge resident Aaron Lansky, founder and director of the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, will participate in a talkback following the screening of the documentary film “Who Will Write Our History" at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, at The Triplex Cinema.
The documentary is based on Kassow’s book of the same name and recounts the story of Nazi resistance from within the Warsaw Ghetto.
After the establishment of the ghetto, a band of writers and scholars named “Oyneg Shabes" began to smuggle reports of atrocities to the outside world and to document the life and culture within the Ghetto in the hope that they would be remembered. Many of these documents were buried and found after the conclusion of the war.
Kassow will also be signing books. Tickets are available at thetriplex.org for $100 per person to benefit The Triplex.
