Experience the Empathy Project, an interactive performance about the struggles of refugees moving across the world.
The Empathy Project is a story of the 89.3 million people forced to migrate from their homes to seek refuge from conflict, starvation, violence, persecution, and climate disasters. It is also a story about the global community and our response to people in exile. This performance project allows us to contribute to the migration crisis by sharing the stories of real people whose lives have been destroyed, forcing them to flee for their survival and seeking refuge from those of us fortunate to have a home, attend school, grow and shop for food, develop our professional skills, own a business and make a contribution to our communities.
The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. In this program, librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library.
