Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising at Der Shteyn

Memorial Program Presented by the Congress for Jewish Culture, Friends of the Bund, Jewish Labor Committee, the Workers Circle, and YIVO Admission: Free No reservation required.

On Wednesday, April 19, 2023 at 3:00pm, the Congress for Jewish Culture, Friends of the Bund, Jewish Labor Committee, the Workers Circle, and YIVO will join together to commemorate and remember the bravery of the partisans of the Warsaw Ghetto. This annual gathering follows a tradition established in 1947 by Jewish partisans, ghetto fighters and Holocaust survivors at the site designated by the City of New York for a memorial to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It has become an annual gathering of Bundists and members of the secular, progressive Yiddish cultural community, as well as children and grandchildren of the original attendees.

Please join us to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Speaking in the program are Irena Klepfisz, Jeffrey Shandler, and Mindy Spiegel. The artistic program will include Joanne Borts, Menachem Fox, Shifee Losacco, Elliott Palevsky, and Daniella Rabbani, as well as children from the Workers Circle Midtown Shule.

This event will take place at der shteyn, the memorial stone in Riverside Park between 83rd and 84th Street. The program will be recorded and made available on YouTube.
