Found Treasures
Stories by Yiddish Women Writers
“This rich and important collection deserves to become part of everyone’s library; and even more, of everyone’s life.” The Jewish Outlook
“Found Treasures stands as a groundbreaking historical document.” NOW Magazine
The first of its kind, this anthology showcases women’s writing previously available only in Yiddish. A book of voices from an almost forgotten female heritage, it features eighteen writers who speak powerfully of the events that shaped their lives; the daily fabric of life in Europe, the struggle from which new lives in North America, Palestine and then Israel were forged, the terror and challenge of survival during the Holocaust and its aftermath.
