ראיונות עם ניצולי שואה חושפים את עושרה של היידיש

הערכה

A new collection of interviews with Holocaust survivors is being presented not as testimony about the war, but as a linguistic archive of prewar Yiddish. The project reframes survivors as native speakers of a living vernacular, not only as witnesses to atrocity. This approach challenges the common reduction of Yiddish to a language of loss, instead foregrounding its regional diversity and everyday richness. The key question is whether this material will shift how institutions preserve and teach Yiddish.
