The annual Nusakh Vilna event commemorates the Jewish community of Vilna through poetry and music. 2021’s commemoration features a remembrance of Chayele Palevesky and a conversation reflecting on the overlooked agency of women as resistance fighters with a particular focus on Vilna and its Jewish and political culture. Chaired by Elye Palevsky, the conversation will be moderated by YIVO's Academic Advisor Eddy Portnoy and will also feature Judy Batalion, author of The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos, and Rivka Augenfeld.
