Maloniai kviečiame!

Birželio 25 d., antradienį, 18 val. kviečiame į prancūzų istorikės Muriel Chochois paskaitą apie žydžių moterų gyvenimo Vilniuje portretus nuo XIX a. vidurio iki Holokausto.

„Jos ten yra, moterys Vilniaus žydų gyvenime“: Rozos Šabad-Gawronskos ir Asios Turgel, dviejų moterų, kurioms Muriel Chochois paskyrė knygą, istorijos nušviečia jaunų žydžių merginų ir moterų gyvenimą nuo XIX a. vidurio iki Antrojo pasaulinio karo. Abi kilusios iš skirtingų socialinių sluoksnių, gimusios skirtingu laiku, būtent šiuo aspektu jų istorijos ar liudijimų tyrinėjimai yra įdomūs. Prancūzų istorikė Muriel Chochois papasakos apie jaunų žydžių merginų išsilavinimą XIX a. antroje pusėje, jų kovą už socialinę ir politinę emancipaciją, gyvenimą ir įsipareigojimus gete, taip pat dvasinį pasipriešinimą.

Paskaita vyks Vilniaus žydų viešojoje bibliotekoje (Gedimino pr. 24, įėjimas iš Mažojo teatro kiemo).
Paskaita bus skaitoma prancūzų kalba su vertimu į lietuvių kalbą.
