Yiddish Montreal Lost and Regained: The Recuperative Power of the Translated Word
|
| Abstract |
The author focuses on Chava Rosenfarb (1923-2011), a Holocaust survivor and Jewish-Canadian author of Yiddish poetry and novels, and a major contributor to post-Second World War Yiddish literature. Rosenfarb immigrated to Montreal in 1950, where she lived for fifty years. The author, Rosenfarb's daughter, discusses her experience as the 2004 translator of Rosenfarb's collection of short stories titled "Survivors: Seven Short Stories", set in Yiddish-speaking Montreal. She also discusses the way in which Yiddish Montreal is translated in Rosenfarb's stories, from a geographical location into a state of mind.
