Yiddish after 1945



After the Second World War, Yiddish culture appeared to be all but
annihilated. The murder of large numbers of Yiddish speakers during the
Shoah, which came after almost a century of linguistic assimilation among
of Ashkenazic Jews, seemed to mark the end of Yiddish as a living language.
This caused serious concern among remaining Yiddish intellectuals such as
authors, journalists, theatre and film makers and educators, who began to
question how and if the use of the Yiddish language was to be continued.


During this symposium, three scholars of Yiddish literature and culture
will present important observations and considerations regarding the state
and future of Yiddish after the end of the Second World War. Gali Drucker
Bar-Am will map out major Yiddish cultural enterprises that took place
around the world in the immediate post-war years. Joanna Nalewajko-Kulikov
will describe and analyze Yiddish activities in Poland, a country with
state-sponsored Jewish institutions, in the two decades following the
Second World War. Anita Norich will talk about the role of translation:
translation as the herald of the end of a living Yiddish culture or as a
means of preservation of this culture that enables it to continue to
flourish.

Jiddische Kultur, Sprache und Literatur at the Heinrich Heine Universität,
