Advanced Yiddish: The Yiddish Poet Moyshe Nadir's Communist Story with Gennady Estraikh (in Yiddish)
Moyshe Nadir, now best known for his song "Der rebe elimeylekh," was a prominent name in the American communist (and not only communist) literary landscape. However, on August 24, 1939, the next day after the signing of the Soviet-German (or Molotov-Ribbentrop) Pact, he wrote a letter of resignation from the Yiddish communist daily Morgn-Frayhayt. The lecture will focus on this case, which was widely discussed in the New York Yiddish press.
