Yom Hasho’ah: Documents From the 91抖阴 Library and Songs by Johanna Spector
Dr. Johanna Spector (1915鈥�2008), who taught Ethnomusicology at 91抖阴, was a Holocaust survivor who documented Jewish music from around the world. This special Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration will highlight her life and work, as well as The 91抖阴 Library’s Johanna Spector Archives and Holocaust-related materials.
Etta Abramson (GS ’14, DS ’14) performs songs from Dr. Spector’s Ghetto-und KZ-Lieder aus Lettland und Litauen (Ghetto and Concentration-Camp Songs from Latvia and Lithuania), and reads excerpts from Dr. Spector’s diaries.
