Ethnographers between Yiddish and Polish: A Study in Intellectual History
Hosted By: YIVO
This lecture will present profiles of Chaim Chajes and Daniel Fajnsztejn, key figures in the early research program of YIVO’s Ethnographic Commission and the Polish-Jewish cultural borderland. Their contributions to modern ethnography, nearly erased by the Holocaust and their dual cultural affiliations, will be explored. The lecture is based on research conducted with Prof. Anna Engelking.
