Before the Holocaust, their mission was to discover and present the formative history of a living people for an audience of educated lay leaders, drawing where possible on Jewish sources of information, in order to help build and fortify a Yiddish-speaking nation. After the Holocaust, their mission became to console its surviving remnant with information about the struggle to survive under German occupation. This book makes Yiddish writings by these historians available in English for the first time, with translations by historian Mark L. Smith. The book also includes a revealing Conversation with Series Editor Michael Berenbaum and an informative foreword by Samuel Kassow.NonfictionOverDriveForeign Language StudyOverDriveHistoryOverDriveNonfiction.Foreign Language Study.History.FOR028000HIS022000HIS043000bisacshSmith Mark L40071BOOK996711904003316Building and consoling a nation4552935UNISA
