The Holocaust & the Exile of Yiddish: A History of the Algemeyne Entsiklopedye
In the early 1930s in Berlin, Germany, a group of Eastern European Jewish intellectuals embarked upon a project to transform the lives of millions of Yiddish-speaking Jews around the world. Their goal was to publish a popular and comprehensive Yiddish language encyclopedia of general knowledge that would serve for its readers as a bridge to the modern world and as a guide to navigate their way within it.
