Event details
In 2005, when the Finnish-Jewish community sold a building in the historic heart of Helsinki, the new owners found a room packed with archival material, including several scenes from a wartime Yiddish-language cabaret. Dr Muir will discuss this discovery, and he and Dr Peschel will read excerpts (in English) from the rediscovered cabarets.
