About this product
Product Information
This book tells the saga of the Yiddish-language general encyclopedia Algemeyne entsiklopedye (1932-1966) and the editors who continued to publish it even as they were sent into repeated exile and their world was utterly transformed by the Holocaust. It is not a story only about destruction and trauma, but also one of tenacity and continuity, as the encyclopedia's compilers strove to preserve the heritage of Yiddish culture, to document its near-total extermination in the Holocaust, and to chart its path into the future.

One cannot read this work without a feeling gratitude toward Trachtenberg for his prodigious research and the clarity of his understanding. One must read it also to understand the audacity of its original self-assigned task and the persistence of those who insisted--even after the destruction, even after multiple exiles and perilous journeys of survival--there was a task that must be completed. Such persistence, such dedication, such determination and such loyalty to a common task., [A] fascinating book..[T]he story Trachtenberg tells--and depicts with brilliant illustrations--is a testament to the perseverance of those who sought to continue producing knowledge in spite of everything, and is a useful contribution to Yiddish studies., "How a Yiddish Encyclopedia Became a Document of the Holocaust and Jewish Culture," by Benjamin Ivry, A fresh contribution to Jewish studies as a whole and Yiddish studies in particular, this work is especially notable for bridging the pre-war, World War II, and post-war periods., A fresh contribution to Jewish studies as a whole and Yiddish studies in particular, this work is especially notable for bridging the prewar, World War II, and postwar periods., An excellent vantage point for understanding many things associated with Jewish life in the twentieth century. The scope of research and analysis is very impressive. This is a very useful book!, Trachtenberg's monograph joins a host of others published in recent years focused on interwar Yiddish culture...Trachtenberg makes the point of directly addressing the presence and absence of Yiddish-speaking women in the male-dominated Yiddish intellectual project like the Algemeyne Entsiklopedye... The Holocaust The Exile of Yiddish is a testament to archival research and the collection of knowledge--both in terms of its subject matter and its own creation., One cannot read this work without feeling gratitude toward Trachtenberg for his prodigious research and the clarity of his understanding. One must read it also to understand the audacity of its original self-assigned task and the persistence of those who insisted--even after the destruction, even after multiple exiles and perilous journeys of survival--there was a task that must be completed. Such persistence, such dedication, such determination, and such loyalty to a common task., As Barry Trachtenberg illuminates in his important and insightful history of the Algemeyne entsiklopedye , the Yiddish cultural nationalist dreams of the 1920s and 1930s would be utterly transformed by the throes of World War II and the annihilation of Jewish Europe, but not destroyed...[ The Holocaust the Exile of Yiddish ] tells the story of a burgeoning moment in Yiddish culture, and of the fate of that culture in post-war America, a story waiting to be heard, and one that is accessible to students and scholars alike., An excellent vantage point for understanding many things associated with Jewish life in the 20th century. The scope of research and analysis is very impressive. This is a very useful book!, "Encyclopedic Knowledge: Rokhl's Golden City: A new look at the story behind one of the quirkiest Yiddish reference books," by Rokhl Kafrissen
