In this significant book, Dr. Goldsmith relates the growth of Yiddish to the explosion of Jewish literature, the surge of Zionism, and the popularity of Socialism that impacted upon the Jews of Europe, America, and Israel. Including a study of the major personalities associated with the first Yiddish Language Conference (1908,) this is the first comprehensive work to explore a movement that affected the lives of millions of Jews before the Holocaust and continues to influence Jewish life throughout the world UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780823296101 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780823296101 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780823296101/original ER -
