  • Winnipeg Yiddish Women's Reading Circle
    UNESCO REGISTER OF GOOD PRACTICES IN LANGUAGE PRESERVATION Winnipeg Yiddish Women’s Reading Circle (Canada) Received: spring 2006; last updated: summer 2008 Brief description: This report describes the activities of the Winnipeg Yiddish Women’s Reading Circle, a reading group in Manitoba, Canada that uses texts in Yiddish to provide participants with opportunities to speak and read the language, to regain confidence in their linguistic competence and to tutor each other . Yiddish is a Germanic Jewish language. In the 2006 census of Canada, 16,295 people indicated Yiddish as their mother tongue. For the Winnipeg (Manitoba) community, where the project is located, the number of Yiddish speakers is approximately six hundred. The Reading Circle was started in the wake of the rediscovery of Yiddish women's literature at a local library event in Winnipeg. In the circle, female members of the local Yiddish community meet regularly once a month to read and discuss texts by female Yiddish authors. Since the start of this library event, the Reading Circle activities have resulted in the revitalization of Yiddish language competence in its members. Reading the texts aloud and group discussion on the texts as well as language issues more generally, has allowed for an invigorating exchange between more and less fluent Yiddish speakers. As a further result, an anthology of English translations of stories by the female Yiddish authors, edited by an academic expert, was published. The Reading Circle assisted with the translation and compilation of texts for this anthology, further contributing to the rediscovery and revitalization of Yiddish among participants. UNESCO REGISTER OF GOOD PRACTICES IN LANGUAGE PRESERVATION Reader’s guide: This project is an example of a community-driven, low-cost effort for language revitalization via the social activity of regularly holding a reading circle, using texts in the endangered language of Yiddish.

Anne Szumigalski A Finding Aid of the Anne Szumigalski at the University of Saskatchewan Prepared by Craig Harkema **(finished by Joel Salt) Special Collections Librarian Research Services Division University of Saskatchewan Library Fall 2009 Collection Summary Title: Papers of Anne Szumigalski Dates: 1976-2008. ID No.: Szumigalski Collection: MSS 61 – Creator: Szumigalski – 1922-1999; Extent: 3 boxes; 46cm; Language: Collection material in English Repository: Special Collections, University of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Biographical Note: Anne Szumigalski, poet (b at London, Eng 3 Jan 1922; d at Saskatoon 22 Apr 1999). Raised in rural Hampshire, she served as an interpreter with the Red Cross during World War II, and in 1951 immigrated with her husband and family to Canada. A translator, editor, playwright, teacher and poet, she was instrumental in founding the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild and the literary magazine Grain. She wrote or co-wrote 14 books, mostly poetry, including Woman Reading in a Bath (1974) and A Game of Angels (1980). Her poetry explores the world of the imagination, a fantastic landscape that stretches between and beyond birth and death and is characterized by the simultaneous concreteness and illogic nature of dreams. She also explores the formal possibilities of the prose poem in several volumes, including Doctrine of Signatures (1983), Instar (1985) and Rapture of the Deep (1991). Because of its appearance on the page, the prose poem is freed from some of the conventions and expectations of the lyric poem, lending itself well to the dreamlike juxtapositions and leaps central to Szumigalski's work. She also wrote her autobiography, The Voice, the Word, the Text (1990) and a play about the Holocaust, Z.

    Donna Krolik Hollenberg GENDER, JEWISH IDENTITY, AND CULTURAL MEMORY IN THE POETRY OF RHEA TREGEBOV “We are a parcel of intention, but not our own.” – “Elegy for Elegies” In her essay, “Some Notes on the Story of Esther,” Rhea Tregebov considers the effects of being doubly marginal upon both her integrity and her development as a poet. A Canadian Jewish woman, she notes that she “did not begin writing authentically until . an articulated feminism made it possible for .. [her] to identify .. [herself] – not so much merely as a feminist, but at the primary level as female” (270), and that it was years later before she could begin to broach “Jewish content” (270-71) in a sustained way. She accomplished the latter breakthrough, she continues, when she composed “a performance piece/slide show [“I’m talking from my time”] which juxtaposed the images and words of . [her] husband’s ninety-six-year-old Russian Jewish grandmother with . [her] own poetry” (271). In the process of recovering a shared past she achieved a sense of wholeness and freedom that had eluded her. Tregebov’s essay raises questions about the intersection of gender, ethnic identity, and cultural memory in her poetry and about the dynamic through which the individual and the social come together.1 How has Tregebov’s self-consciousness as a woman facilitated her developing self-consciousness as a Jew within the late twentieth-century Canadian milieu and how is this reflected in her poetry? From her first book, Remembering History (1982) to her fifth, The Strength of 94 Donna Krolik Hollenberg Materials (2001), Tregebov has dramatized distinctive elements of Canadian Jewish womanhood in poems of personal reflection about female experience, poems of social portraiture about the Jewish, immigrant experience, and poems that memorialize the Holocaust.
