Yiddish Scholarship Comes to America: The YIVO Institute at 100
Hosted By: YIVO
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a discussion with Kalman Weiser on his new book “Yiddish Scholarship Comes to America: The YIVO Institute at 100,” a comprehensive history of YIVO’s efforts to preserve Eastern European Jewish culture through a century of genocide and mass emigration. Drawing on extensive archival research and oral histories, Weiser focuses on the transitional period from 1940 to 1970, when YIVO worked to establish itself on a new continent, reclaim what had survived of its Vilna collections, and impart the value of Eastern European Jewish history to new generations. The discussion is moderated by Andrew Silow-Carroll.
