A quest for Yiddish
A journey through the YUNG YiDiSH library
Fachbereichsbibliothek Bildungswissenschaft, Sprachwissenschaft und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft
Sensengasse 3a, 1090 Wien
Kultur
There is a place in Tel Aviv, Israel, called YUNG YiDiSH, where over sixty thousand books, collected painstakingly one by one, sit on shelves and inside boxes, bearing witness to Eastern European Yiddish culture.
They reveal a rich world, one which is quintessentially (Eastern) European, but also transnational. A world that crosses the boundaries of the religious and the secular, but united through the Yiddish language, the thousand-year-old mother tongue of Eastern European Jews. A world that was once seemingly everywhere, and now, almost nowhere, except in places like YUNG YiDiSH.
Let me take you on a whirlwind tour of some of the treasures of this library, and acquiant you with this world. I will provide some necessary historical and geographical background, but mostly I will let the poets, writes, singers and film actors speak for themselves, through beautiful contemporary and current day recordings.
The event will be presented by Kriszta Eszter Szendrői.
