Perla Karney: from DP Camps in Bavaria to Los Angeles

Listen Later
  • This week's featured interview is with Perla Karney, discussing her journey from childhood in the Jewish displaced persons community around Bavaria, Germany, to finally settling as a young woman in Los Angeles, where she studied at UCLA and had a career as a theater producer before taking on her current role as artistic director of the Dortort Center for Creativity in the Arts at UCLA Hillel. A fluent Yiddish speaker, Karney recently produced and co-starred in a video on the Yiddish Forward (Forverts)'s YouTube channel. Starring the famed Yiddish actor Mike Burstyn, it's titled "A Jewish deli experience with actor Mike Burstyn – in Yiddish!", and features unscripted Yiddish-language dialog as the two enjoy and discuss Jewish dishes together at Factor's Deli in Los Angeles.
