Her award-winning work on Jewish history and popular culture is academically influential and impactful to a wide audience. In 2018, <a href="/news/songs-past-u-t-researcher-s-work-leads-grammy-nomination">she created the Grammy-nominated Yiddish Glory project</a>, which excavated and revived forgotten Yiddish music written during the Holocaust in the Soviet Union. The Guggenheim Fellowship will support her work on a book on this topic.&nbsp;</p> <p>“My work focuses on giving voices to Jewish women and children who created Yiddish songs documenting their lives in Nazi ghettos during the Holocaust,” says Shternshis. “Getting the Guggenheim Fellowship to work on this project in the midst of today's crisis feels strangely hopeful because I strongly believe that knowing suffering, heroism, resilience, and yes, the music of the past, gives us strength for the present and the future.”</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/three-scholars-honoured-prestigious-guggenheim-fellowships">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:33:59 +0000 lanthierj 164214 at Douglas W.
