Leyb Goldin’s race against starvation in the Ghetto: a Yad Vashem Podcast [On the Holocaust]
Update: 2022-12-28
Description
In August 1941, a young writer, Leyb Goldin, sat down to write about his day, struggling to survive in the Warsaw ghetto. This short piece of reportage, described as “a first person account of a man slowly dying of hunger”, is extremely powerful in portraying the terror of starvation, and perhaps deserves a place up there with some of the famous works of holocaust literature.
Featured guest: David Roskies, Professor of Yiddish Literature and Culture at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
