The Wexler Oral History Project is excited to announce BEYLE: The Artist and Her Legacy, a forthcoming new short documentary film about beloved Yiddish poet, artist, and activist Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman. Beyle’s poems and songs are part of the fabric of postwar Yiddish culture worldwide. Beyle, who was recognized as a Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts, had a lasting impact on many Jewish artists and scholars as well as on her family, many of whom continue speaking, writing, and working in Yiddish to this day.
