Jill Culiner

16/03/2022 by Jill.Culiner

Born in New York, raised in Toronto, Jill Culiner, writer, social critical artist, and photographer has spent most of her life in France, England, Germany, Hungary, Turkey, Holland, and North Africa. Her photographic exhibition about the First and Second World Wars, La Mémoire Effacée, toured France, Canada, and Hungary under the auspices of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UNESCO. Her non-fiction, Finding Home in the Footsteps of the Jewish Fusgeyers won the Joseph and Faye Tanenbaum Prize for Canadian Jewish History and was shortlisted for the ForeWord Magazine Award. Her biography of a nineteenth-century rebel Yiddish poet and singer, A Contrary Journey with Velvel Zbarzher, Bard, was published by Claret Press in 2022, and Those Absent on the Great Hungarian Plain, a portrait of Hungarian village life and investigation into a pogrom was published by Claret Press in 2024.

She presently lives in a 400-year-old inn in France that is so chaotic and strange, it has been classified as a museum. (http://www.jill-culiner.com)
