The Keneder Adler and Yiddish community life in Montreal, 1944
|
| Abstract |
Rabbi Pinchas Hirschprung (1912-1998) became a towering religious and literary figure in the Montreal Jewish community following his immigration to the city in 1941 and during a time when Yiddish functioned as the city's Jewish lingua franca. In 1944, Montreal's Yiddish-language newspaper, The Kinder Adler, both serialized Rabbi Hirschprung's memoir, Fun Natsishen Yomertol: Zikhroynes fun a Polit (later translated into English From the Nazi Vale of Tears: Memoirs of a Refugee) and printed it in book form. The author offers a snapshot of this rapidly changing Montreal community of 1944 through a close study of its Yiddish newspaper, including coverage of the liberation of the Nazi death camps, community responses, and new local community educational initiatives.
