From Cleveland to Treblinka: The Tragically Inspiring Journey of Lidia Zamenhof

A free lecture open to the public. In late 1937, a remarkable woman arrived in Cleveland with a radical mission: to teach Esperanto, a constructed language designed to foster global understanding and world peace. Her name was Lidia Zamenhof, the youngest daughter of the language’s creator. Lidia was a passionate idealist who traveled the world teaching that a neutral language could dismantle cultural biases and prevent war. In 1938, Lidia was forced to return to Poland where she was murdered by the Nazis.
