Bella Bryks-Klein was born in Stockholm, a daughter of the talented Yiddish Holocaust writer Rachmil Bryks. The YIVO and HIAS brought their family to the U.S., where she spent her childhood in Manhattan. She later moved to Israel and graduated with a Master's from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with a comprehensive thesis about her father's life and manuscripts buried in, and recovered from, the Lodz Ghetto.
In recent years she has dedicated herself to continuing her father's work and disseminating the Yiddish language, culture and literature. Today she is a Coordinator at “Beth Shalom Aleichem” in Tel Aviv, representative of the Yiddish “Forward” in Israel, and interviewer and translator for “Yad Vashem”, Steven Spielberg's “USC Shoah Foundation” in Israel, and “Yiddishpiel” theater.
She is currently performing her one-woman show "Mayn Tatns Tokhter" (My Father's Daughter) – in Yiddish, English and Hebrew. Interspersed with Yiddish songs, it is a personal view of growing up as a second-generation survivor.
