About this product

Product Information

After the Holocaust's near complete destruction of European Yiddish cultural centres, the Yiddish language was largely viewed as a remnant of the past, tragically eradicated in its prime. In Survivors and Exiles, Jan Schwarz reveals that, on the contrary, Yiddish culture in the two and a half decades after the Holocaust was in dynamic flux.

Reviews
Meticulously researched and forcefully argued, this comprehensive study restores historical justice by introducing the neglected corpus of Yiddish Holocaust literature to the English readership. It reveals the drama of the transnational effort to tell the story of the destruction of the East European Yiddishland by the survivors who found themselves scattered around the globe., What came after the destruction of Ashkenaz, a Yiddish-speaking civilization that once embraced the European continent, east and west? There came new cities of refuge, some reimagined (Vilna, Lodz, and Minsk-Mazowiecki), some real (Paris, Buenos Aires, and New York); new performance venues (like the 92nd Street Y); and a new poetics of remembrance. Richly illustrated and in loving detail, Schwarz brings us the story of how great writers, poets, and memoirists created a new Yiddish cultural geography far away from home., Survivors and Exiles fills significant gaps in Jewish literary history during the important years following the Holocaust. Bringing into the mix writers whose work has been little known or examined, reframing the works of better known writers and poets, and reconstructing Yiddish literary culture, Schwarz's book makes an original and important contribution to literary studies, Yiddish cultural studies, American literature, and other fields.
