Between Two Worlds: Yiddish-German Encounters
edited by J.D. Frakes and J. Dauber
What does Yiddish have to do with German? It is a question that has perplexed Jews and Germans alike for centuries.

edited by Gennady Estraikh, Jordan Finkin, Kerstin Hoge and Mikhail Krutikov

This volume examines those translations published in Europe, ...
