1912rif. 224381912. Schwartz Isidor publisher. The Citizen: A Guide to Naturalization published after 1912 provided Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrants with practical instruction for obtaining American citizenship during a period of substantial Jewish immigration to New York. Published in Brooklyn the manual translated the language and civic knowledge required for naturalization into forms accessible to applicants with limited English proficiency. Its questions and model answers address American government electoral procedures and New York State institutions while phonetic renderings of English enabled readers to rehearse responses for oral examination. The publication documents the role of Yiddish-language commercial publishers in helping Jewish immigrants navigate federal citizenship requirements and acquire the vocabulary of American civic life. Schwartz Isidor publisher. Vi Azoy Tsu Veren a Sitizen. / The Citizen: A Guide to Naturalization. All Important Questions and Answers Printed in Hebrew and Yiddish Also Translations in Plain English Which You are to Know When Applying for Your Final Citizen Papers. Brooklyn: Aroysgegeben fun Isidor Schwartz / Published by Isidor Schwartz n.d. after 1912. Only edition. 31 pages. Text in English and Yiddish including Hebrew script and phonetic transliterations. 6" x 4.5". Stapled pamphlet in printed wrappers. Organized around questions and prescribed answers the manual combines general civics instruction with information specific to New York naturalization applicants. Questions include "How does a bill become a law" "What is the capital of New York State" and "How many stars has the American flag" The supplied answer "Forty-eight stars" establishes a date after the admission of New Mexico and Arizona in 1912 and is consistent with the period before Alaska's statehood in 1959. The response to a question concerning electoral choice states "We vote for the candidate who is in our opinion best fitted to occupy the office he wishes to be elected to." Such prescribed formulations show how applicants were instructed to memorize both civic facts and the language of political participation. The pamphlet belongs to the Yiddish-language instructional literature produced for Jewish immigrants confronting English-language administrative and legal requirements in the United States. Its combination of Yiddish explanations phonetic English and standardized examination responses demonstrates how Brooklyn publishers adapted citizenship instruction to immigrants whose spoken and written English remained limited. The inclusion of New York State questions further identifies its intended regional readership. OCLC records eight institutional copies worldwide according to a published bibliographic census. Moderate chipping and edge wear to front and rear wrappers with several closed tears and losses at corners; interior pages clean and legible. Overall good condition. An uncommon example of Yiddish-language naturalization instruction documenting the practical preparation of Jewish immigrants for American citizenship. unknown

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."

1943rif. 43487Moscow: Der Emes 1943. First edition. Original illustrated paper wrappers 16vo 62 pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as "From Then and Now: Songs and Ballads About War" War poems by Soviet-Yiddish poet Moyshe Khashtshevatski. "Khashtshevatski was a poet prose writer and playwright born in Buki near Uman Ukraine.In 1918 April 6 he debuted in print with a poem entitled 'Friling Kumt' Spring Comes in the Kiev newspaper Di Naye Tsayt The New Times-using the pen name M. Mishal. In 1921 he moved to Kiev where he forged a strong bond with the local Yiddish writers Yekhezkl Dobrushin Dovid Hofshteyn and Der Nister among others and from that point he enhanced ever more his reputation as a creator and builder of Soviet Yiddish literature.From 1923 over the course of three years he contributed intensively to Emes Truth in Moscow and he actively took part in the Soviet community and political life. Although his first works were in the symbolist vein he would later switch to a more realistic depiction of life and address the major issues and events of the time. He brought new motifs and artistic imagery into Soviet Yiddish poetry. The range of his interests was extremely broad. He also masterfully translated from the Russian and Ukrainian classics as well as from other languages. In 1943 the Moscow publisher Der Emes The Truth brought out two books by him: a poetry collection entitled Fun Amol un Haynt Of Then and Now this work and jottings about the hero of the Soviet Union Khayim Diskin Khayim Diskin. The majority of poems in the former were dedicated to war themes. Shortly after the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet war in 1941 he was evacuated to Samarkand Uzbekistan and there he learned of the death of his only son at the front. He proceeded to volunteer for mobilization into the Red Army despite the fact that he was forty-six years of age. He contributed in the harshest of battles in that period of the fighting and died in battle." Leksikon Fun Der Nayer Yidisher Literatur SUBJECTS: Yiddish poetry.

Directed in a Soviet-influenced style by Alexander Ford a committed Communist who later became the head of Poland's National Film School the film follows three children as they gradually overcome their emotional withdrawal and distrust and enter the communal life of the institution" MoMA 2016. From the pamphlet text: "Narrow and dark streets of Greater Warsaw. Crowded and wet attics attics and cellars. 'Apartments' filled with people who lack mother's breasts for the always screaming child. An unemployed father. And - children everywhere many children. Children - withered rickety with crooked legs sunken chests and pale faces they - the children - know all the bitterness of life from a very early age. Often very often they are already 'earners' themselves - in a poor workshop in the street or until late at night they sell th apples and 'hot warm bagels'. And now from this environment the children arrive at the Medem sanatorium: Hanale from the Jewish secular school the pale Zalmanka from Cheder and Laser - the bagel seller. In the beginning everything is strange to them in the 'strange' Medem-Sanatorium: no one punishes no one shouts no one is angry. Everything is friendly to them everyone strives to understand them as their best friend. Joy and freedom mixed with free independent work rule over everything here. And our three heroes quickly got used to the new life-forms. They flourish. They become stronger physically and mentally they actively participate in the work of the 'self-management' of children they begin to understand that the world does not have to be like that as they realized in Warsaw that they can and must be someone else someone free someone equal someone beautiful. The children are taken in by the spirit of true friendship they begin to understand that person's suffering and get an aspiration to help that person. And when their daily newspaper brings news that the coal miners are on strike in Zaglembia that their children are starving they are deeply moved. Because - who can understand better than them what a strike means and feel more than them what is called hunger And at a general meeting the children according to their own proposal give each one a day of their time in the sanatorium so that the 180 children - create 180 days for their brothers in Zaglembia Times flies in the sanatorium. And now we see our 3 'heroes' as they drive off back home. The faces of all 3 are drawn. A deep sadness lies on the young childish faces." Both the pamphlet and the film end with the song "Mir Kumen On"--We Are Coming-the words by Nokhem Yud 1888-1966 and music by Yankl Troupianski 1909-1944. The film's theme song was also used by Camp Hemshekh in New York as its anthem in the 1960s & 1970s. "Everything in the film is factual and authentic. There is not a single artist in the film - everything is performed by the participating children of the Medem Sanatorium." We were unable to locate any copies using OCLC nor with a google search.
