How the Holocaust Changed the Yiddish Language

Diversity and Inclusion, Literature, Lectures, and Talks, Online Event

,

December 15, 2024 | 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm  

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 Pollin-Galay will explore Khurbn Yiddish (Yiddish of the Holocaust) as a form of Holocaust memory. Following the conversation there will be a book signing. This event is free to attend and will be presented at the Yiddish Book Center and streamed live via Zoom. See the Event Website to register below for the Zoom livestream. No registration is needed to attend this event in person at the Center.
