Chava Rosenfarbとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Chava Rosenfarb (1923, Łódź, Poland — 30 January 2011, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada) was a Holocaust survivor and Jewish-Canadian author of Yiddish poetry and novels, a major contributor to post-World War II Yiddish Literature. Rosenfarb began writing poetry as young as eight. After surviving the Łódź Ghetto, Rosenfarb was deported to Auschwitz, where her father died, and then sent to a work camp at Sasel (subcamp of Neuengamme concentration camp), where she built houses for the bombed out Germans of Hamburg. At the end of the war she was sent to Bergen-Belsen, where she fell ill with nearly-fatal Typhus Fever in April 1945. After the end of the war, Rosenfarb married the future nationally-famous Canadian abortion activist Henry Morgentaler (the two divorced in 1975). She had published three volumes of poetry by 1950. The same year, Morgentaler and Rosenfarb, pregnant with Goldie, their daughter, emigrated from Europe to Canada, landing in Montréal in the winter of 1950, to a reception of Yiddish writers at Windsor Station.
