Elisabeth Gifford – The British Library

Elisabeth Gifford explores the writing of her new novel The Good Doctor of Warsaw using oral memories, documents and research in the Library. It evokes something of pre-war Warsaw’s now lost Jewish community and the life of Janusz Korczak, who cared for 200 orphans in the ghetto. The event features live music from Živorad Nikolic and Susi Evans from the world acclaimed She’Koyokh klezmer band.
