Goldie Morgentaler
Free Times Cafe

Award-winning Goldie is the daughter of Holocaust survivor and Yiddish language author Chava Rosenfarb and abortion rights activist Dr. Henry Morgentaler. She is a professor at the University of Lethbridge where she teaches modern Jewish literature and 19th-century British and American literature.

Her latest book is Letters from the Afterlife, The Post Holocaust Correspondence of Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larson. This recently published book depicts the experiences of two women Holocaust survivors as they adjust to life in their respective new countries, Canada and Sweden, where they know neither the language nor the culture. Copies of the books will be available for sale at the event.

Chava's words preserved the world that the Holocaust tried to erase, and these words are now available in English, thanks to Goldie Morgentaler. This is a rare chance to hear Goldie Morgentaler as she visits Toronto.


The traditional Free Times Yiddish Vinkl buffet will be available for $25 plus gratuities. We cannot reserve seating but would appreciate it if you could indicate your attendance so that we can plan our event.
