Book News Annotation:

A study concentrating on Yiddish cultural production from the middle of the 19th century to post World War II, a period of extraordinary poetic and philosophical development and sophistication unfortunately lost by the equally extraordinary events of European war and genocide. Passow (history and Jewish thought, Gratz College) describes the "Goldene Medine" and the books, newspapers, journals, and radio stations which vehicled the creative personalities of the time, including Samuel Niger. Lacks an index.
