Über diesen Titel
In the early 1900s, as the aspiration for Jewish cultural nationalism in the Diaspora was gaining momentum among advocates for Yiddish, the prominent intellectuals of the time included the "Yiddish historians" who played a crucial role in uncovering the history of East-European Jews. Prior to the Holocaust, their goal was to research and present the foundational history of a vibrant community for an audience of educated lay leaders, utilizing Jewish sources of information whenever possible, to aid in the establishment and strengthening of a Yiddish-speaking nation. Following the Holocaust, their focus shifted to providing solace to the surviving remnants by sharing insights about their struggle to endure under German occupation. This book presents Yiddish writings from these historians in English for the first time, featuring translations by historian Mark L. Smith. Additionally, the book contains an enlightening Conversation with Series Editor Michael Berenbaum and a thought-provoking foreword by Samuel Kassow.
