Yiddishlands

A Memoir, Second Edition

Beschreibung

This lively and irreverent memoir explores the settings where Yiddish - a language of song, rebellion, and eternal longing - has thrived: in the cabaret and cafe, the kitchen and classroom, the literary salon and mystical commune, the partisan brigade and on pilgrimage to Poland.
