An Evening with David Mazower
Jan 20, 2026
Starting: 7:00 PM
Literature, history and cultural memory converge in an evening exploring the creative legacy of modern Yiddish life.
An Evening with David Mazower, taking place Tuesday, January 20 from 7 at Books & Books, celebrates Yiddish: A Global Culture, the landmark exhibition catalog from the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts. Mazower, editorial director and chief curator of the exhibition, will discuss the book’s vivid portrayal of Yiddish creativity across literature, theater, music, art and politics from the nineteenth century to the present.
Free and open to the public, the event offers insight into one of the world’s most enduring and wide-reaching cultural movements, brought to life through rare artifacts, essays and the expansive mural of “Yiddishland.”
