The Stories of a People, A Language, a Place…

Where better than a library to hold and embody the countless stories that make up a culture? Join Susan Bronson, from the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst MA, Shawn Iwaoka from the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, and Susan A. Fletcher, from the McCracken Research Library in Cody, WY for a conversation about saving and celebrating past lives and preserving culture through books, memoirs, oral history transcripts, and even children’s books. Presented by Bloomberg Connects. Moderated by Alex Costas, Bloomberg Connects. You can download the Festival’s digital Bloomberg Connects Guide here.
