Yiddish Book Center
The Yiddish Book Center recovers, preserves, teaches, and celebrates Yiddish literature and culture to advance a fuller understanding of Jewish history and identity. The Center engages diverse, worldwide audiences, generating enthusiasm, knowledge, and commitment to the history and future of Yiddish and Jewish culture. We invite you to explore our collection of recorded virtual public programs and extensive oral histories.
Many videos on this channel are excerpts from in-depth video interviews with native Yiddish speakers, world-renowned klezmer musicians, grandmothers, descendants of Yiddish writers, students, and more from the Center's Wexler Oral History Project. The interviews are focused life histories, covering family background, involvement with Yiddish language and culture, Jewish identity, and the transmission of culture and values across generations and communities. You can find the full interviews on our website: http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/tell-your-story
