Admission: Free
No reservation required.
The artistic program will include songs and readings in Yiddish and English.

This annual commemoration of the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising will take place at der shteyn, the memorial stone in Riverside Park between 83rd and 84th Street.

Speakers include Anita Gallers, Kyla Kupferstein Torres, Dr. Lori Weintrob, and Marcel Kshensky (chair).

The event takes place annually under the open skies, rain or shine, and is free and open to the public. Co-sponsored by the Congress for Jewish Culture, Friends of the Bund, the Jewish Labor Committee, Workers Circle, and YIVO.

This annual gathering follows a tradition established in 1947 by Jewish partisans, ghetto fighters and Holocaust survivors at the site earmarked by the City of New York for a memorial to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It has become an annual gathering of Bundists and members of the secular, progressive Yiddish cultural community, as well as children and grandchildren of the original attendees.
