Yom Hasho’ah: Documents From the 91Ώμ²₯ Library and Songs by Johanna Spector
Dr. Johanna Spector (1915β2008), who taught Ethnomusicology at 91Ώμ²₯, 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 91Ώμ²₯ 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.
