1930rif. 17315Kharkov Ukraine: Ukrinishn Melukhe-Farlag 1930. 1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers lacks front wrapper 8vo 160 pages. 21 cm. In Yiddish. Di Royte Velt was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine which began publication in 1924. “The Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt The Red World published in 1924-33 in Kharkiv Kharkov in Russian then the Ukrainian capital was one of the strongholds of 'anti-Litvakovism'. In general terms the story of Di royte velt represents an insightful chapter in the history of Soviet Yiddish literary life of the 1920s and 1930s. In 1924 there arose the question of moving the Yiddish literary centre from Kiev to Kharkiv and of launching a Kiev-based Yiddish literary journal. This matter was discussed in a special memorandum of the Press Department of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party. The head of the department M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky was Jewish. Motl Kiper the head of the Ukrainian Jewish Section backed this proposal arguing that Yiddish literature would benefit immensely from the capital's proletarian environment where it would liberate itself from the nationalist and Yiddishist hang-ups of Kiev. In reality the Kharkiv Jewish proletariat was more acculturated than elsewhere in Ukraine: only 36 per cent of Kharkiv Region's Jewish trade unionists were Yiddish-speakers compared with 89 per cent in the Berdichev Region 55 per cent in the Kiev Region and 42 per cent in the Odessa Region. It was no easy matter to create overnight a literary centre in a city which had a number of journalists but no literary lions. Moshe Taitsh for instance had been transferred to Moscow to reinforce the editorial staff of Der emes. For all that the apparatchiks' initiative resulted in creating in Kharkiv a new Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt. The first editors of Di royte velt were Henekh Kazakevich and M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky. While the latter was a king for a day in Yiddish literatureKazakevich was a remarkable figure in Soviet Yiddish journalism…. The first issue of the new journal appeared in September 1924 with a print-run of 2000. It was labelled a 'political-social literary-scientific bi-weekly journal'. Indeed the first issue contained only two literary works: a poem by Itsik Fefer and a story by Shmuel Persov. The other materials were devoted to theatre politics cosmology and literary criticism. Significantly the journal stressed its international character. Among its potential contributors we find the names of the editors and writers of the New York communist Yiddish daily Frayhayt Freedom Moshe Olgin Morris Vinchevsky Shakhne Epshtein Moshe Kats and Moshe Nadir. Also it was announced that the Vilna-based Boris Kletskin publishing house was preparing for publication books by four Soviet writers listed among the journals' contributors: Arn Kushnirov Moshe Khashtshevatsky Ezra Finninberg and Nokhum Oislender” Gennady Estraikh 2002: 'The Kharkiv Yiddish literary world 1920s-mid-1930s'East European Jewish Affairs 32: 2 70 — 88; for Estraikh’s extensive discussion of the importance of Di Royte Velt see the full article at https://www.yiddishweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Kharkiv-Yiddish_Estra ikh.pdf.

1946rif. 43547London: Nay-Idish teater 1946. Paperback. First edition. Original stapled paper wrappers 4to 16 4 pages including illustrations and photos. 29 cm. Text in Yiddish 16 pages and English 4 pages. Monthly periodical published by the New Yiddish Theater in London. Numbering was continuous despite the volume change with the start of the new calendar year. "In 1945 playwright producer and manager Abish Meisels staged an adaptation of Abraham Goldfaden's The Ten Commandments at the New Yiddish Theatre in the East End. An Austrian refugee Meisels immigrated to London in 1938. Five years later he walked down Adler Street and entered Adler Hall. He turned a key unlocking the doors to the New Yiddish Theatre. According to Meisels his mission was 'to present the best in Jewish drama; to keep alive the art of the Jewish theatre and to inculcate into the minds of the younger generation a love and appreciation of their lives customs and language.' .Meisels' production may have been salient for London's post-war Jewish community. Many of his 20-person company were refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe as were others of London's Jewish population. They found in Meisels' theatre as he put it a 'much needed cultural educational and social centre' and a sense of belonging. By the time Meisels opened his theatre in 1943 the Yiddish stage had been in existence for nearly 70 years. Its story began in 1876 when writer Abraham Goldfaden staged the first Yiddish theatrical productions in Romania and Russia. Yiddish plays were first performed in the UK in the 1880s concurrent with the mass migration of Yiddish-speaking Eastern European Jews to Britain. Between 1881 and 1914 nearly 120000 of these immigrants entered the country most settling in the East End. These Yiddish-speaking Jews brought with them the desire for entertainment in their native tongue. Meisels' company was the last theatre in Britain devoted to Yiddish productions. It followed the Hebrew Dramatic Club on Princes Street 1886-1887; the Pavilion Theatre onWhitechapel Road 1906-1934; the Temple of Art known as the Feinman Yiddish People's Theatre on Commercial Road; the Grand Palais on Commercial Road 1934-1970 and the Jewish National Theatre at Adler Hall 1936- 1939. The use of Yiddish declined asthe community became assimilated. In 1947 Meisels locked the doors to the NewYiddish Theatre for the last time."
