The Holocaust & the Exile of Yiddish

A History of the Algemeyne Entsiklopedye

Beschreibung

This book tells the saga of the Yiddish-language general encyclopedia  Algemeyne entsiklopedye (1932-1966) and the editors who continued to publish it even as they were sent into repeated exile and their world was utterly transformed by the Holocaust. It is not a story only about destruction and trauma, but also one of tenacity and continuity, as the encyclopedia’s compilers strove to preserve the heritage of Yiddish culture, to document its near-total extermination in the Holocaust, and to chart its path into the future.
