The JPL Presents the 2025 Babey and Paul Trepman Memorial Lecture:
Unzer Sztyme: Our Voice After the Unimaginable

In collaboration with the Montreal Holocaust Museum and the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts.
Join us to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, alongside translators, scholars, and sons of prolific JPL alum, Dr. Aaron Krishtalka and Eliezer Trepman. Krishtalka and Trepman, meeting for the first time, will discuss their family connections to Unzer Sztyme (Our Voice), the unprecedented publication created in Celle, Germany, starting in 1945, just months after the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The panel is accompanied by readings of original Yiddish excerpts with English and French translations.
Note that this event will be held both in person and online.
