An illustrated talk and reading by Professor Rachel Lichtenstein from her new book, exploring the story of Yiddish
About this Event

An illustrated talk and reading by Professor Rachel Lichtenstein from her new book. It explores the story of Yiddish, its near destruction and astonishing survival. It is also the story of a penniless, charming writer on a mission to save his language, and a historian on a quest to follow him to the ends of a rapidly vanishing world.
