HOW THE HOLOCAUST CHANGED THE YIDDISH LANGUAGE, WITH HANNAH POLLIN-GALAY
Amherst, 2 p.m.

Free conversation | Sunday, December 15, 2:00 p.m. ET, at the Yiddish Book Center and streamed live via Zoom

During and immediately after World War II, Eastern European Jews perceived a radical transformation in the Yiddish language. This perception inspired some intellectuals to create dictionaries and glossaries that deciphered the metamorphosis of Yiddish words. Others incorporated this new strain of Yiddish into their poetry and prose. In this conversation, Hannah will explore Khurbn Yiddish (Yiddish of the Holocaust) as a form of Holocaust memory. Following the conversation there will be a book signing.
