The work is considered one of the most important memoirs of Jewish Polish life. The author began the work two days after he arrived in the US in March 1941.
According to the Yiddish Book Center, "He knew that Europe’s Jews were facing an unimaginable disaster, and his book has been called a 'portable literary gravestone for a destroyed community.'"
Two Fellows of the Yiddish Book Center have returned with an additional 200 Yiddish audio books on tape. They will be digitized and made available for free online.
Poyln has also been translated into English and published by the Polish-Jewish Heritage Foundation of Canada.

ReplyDeleteI recently came across a beautiful Yiddish lullaby that I learned to sing for my daughter. Even though I am not Jewish and had no idea what the words meant, the language was so beautiful that it really sparked my interest. Thanks for suggesting this audiobook. I look forward to listening to it!
