Imagining Lives
In interwar and post-Holocaust New York, Yiddish autobiographers responded to the upheaval of modern Jewish life in ways that combined artistic innovation with commemoration for a world that is no more. Imagining Lives: Autobiographical Fiction of Yiddish Writers is the first comprehensive study of the autobiographical genre in Yiddish literature. Jan Schwarz offers portraits of seven major Yiddish writers, showing the writer's struggles to shape the multiple identities of their ruptured lives in autobiographical fiction. This analysis of Yiddish life-writing includes discussions of literary representation, self and collectivity, and memory in modern Jewish literature. Schwarz shows how Yiddish autobiographical fiction fuses novelistic elements and memoiristic truthfulness in ways that also characterize Jewish life-writing in English and Hebrew. His accessible style, biographical sketches, glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish words, and careful survey of notable texts takes readers on an incomparable journey through modern Yiddish literature.
Survivors and Exiles
After the Holocaust’s near complete destruction of European Yiddish cultural centers, the Yiddish language was largely viewed as a remnant of the past, tragically eradicated in its prime. In Survivors and Exiles: Yiddish Culture after the Holocaust, Jan Schwarz reveals that, on the contrary, Yiddish culture in the two and a half decades after the Holocaust was in dynamic flux. Yiddish writers and cultural organizations maintained a staggering level of activity in fostering publications and performances, collecting archival and historical materials, and launching young literary talents. Schwarz traces the transition from the Old World to the New through the works of seven major Yiddish writ...
Yiddish Literature and Culture
The proposed book offers a comprehensive introduction to the study of Yiddish from the 10th century and up to date. It will include basic discussions on linguistic developments (and especially sociolinguitic), literary genres, oral performances, use of Yiddish in non-fiction, journalism and scholarship.

Shakroeïk
Unter dem roten Mond Eishor geraten die alten Ordnungen ins Wanken. Neue Kräfte fordern die Araë des Schwarzen Reiches Taïn, die Klans des Weißen Reiches Ehortt und den Memeh des Goldenen Reiches Sewasdar heraus. Fortschritt und Krieg verändern das Angesicht der Welt. Wer wird die Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft erfüllen - oder alle ins Verderben stürzen? Dies ist die Geschichte einer Ära, von der Gründung eines neuen Staates, von umstürzlerischen Ideen, von der Verführung der Macht und vom Versprechen der Freiheit. Dies ist die Geschichte von Sharnog, Ataeïr, Alnika und Esaë.

Literature of the Holocaust
During and in the aftermath of the dark period of the Holocaust, writers across Europe and America sought to express their feelings and experiences through their writings. This book provides a comprehensive account of these writings through essays from expert scholars, covering a wide geographic, linguistic, thematic and generic range of materials. Such an overview is particularly appropriate at a time when the corpus of Holocaust literature has grown to immense proportions and when guidance is needed in determining a canon of essential readings, a context to interpret them, and a paradigm for the evolution of writing on the Holocaust. The expert contributors to this volume, who negotiate the literature in the original languages, provide insight into the influence of national traditions and the importance of language, especially but not exclusively Yiddish and Hebrew, to the literary response arising from the Holocaust.
