Christina Wirth receives scholarship

IEG staff member Christina Wirth has received a scholarship from the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York. At the same time, she was accepted for the six-week "YIVO-Bard Uriel Weinreich Summer Program in Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture" in New York.

Founded in 1993, the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania is a postdoctoral research centre dedicated to the study of Jewish history and civilisation. The Katz Center's main activity is an international fellowship programme that brings scholars from around the world to Philadelphia for a semester or a year. Researchers are given the opportunity to conduct research on a common theme in a supportive and collaborative environment.
