Yiddish theatres from around the globe have held an international festival in Canada…Australia was represented by Melbourne’s Alex Dafner.
Held in Montreal, the eight day event featured troupes from Austria, Canada, France, Israel, Poland Romania, the United States…and Australia. It ends today.
Alex Dafner, a Melbourne teacher and broadcaster, attended the festival which honored the 50th anniversary of the Dora Wassserman Yiddish Theatre.
The Festival had a special meaning for Dafner as he renewed his acquaintance with Golda Tencer who runs the Yiddish Theatre in Warsaw…it was only the second time they had met since their Lodz schooldays.
Shmuel Atzmon-Wincer, artistic director of Tel Aviv’s Yiddishpiel Theatre told media that as long as the Yiddish culture lives “the Holocaust will be remembered”.

Under the sponsorship of the Government’s Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Daniel Berger and his team-mates, all pupils at James Ruse Agricultural High School, will compete in Plovdiv, Bulgaria against the cream of the world’s talent in the informatics arena.
Informatics is the science of information, the practice of information processing and the engineering of information systems.
Daniel Berger is no stranger to international competitions. He was a member of the team which won the 2008 International Schools Software Competition in India…the first time Australia had tasted victory in the competition’s twenty year history.
