Yiddish Civilisation : The Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation. By (author) Paul Kriwaczek.
The culturally vibrant, economically successful, intellectually adventurous and largely self-ruling medieval Yiddish society was cut short by the Chmielnitzky Massacres of 1648-56 in which 100,000 Jews were killed. Those that were left were forced to spread out to the small towns (shtetls) and villages. Russian pogroms from the 1880s produced Zionism, emigration and agitation. Paul Kriwaczek describes the development, over the centuries, of Yiddish language and names, religion, occupations, art and music, literature and food. The book ends by describing how the Yiddish way of life became one of the foundation stones of modern American, and therefore of world, culture.
