Found Treasures: Stories by Yiddish Women Writers, Edited by Frieda Forman, Ethel Raicus, Sarah Silberstein Swartz, Margie Wolfe

The first of its kind, this anthology showcases women’s writing previously available only in Yiddish. A book of voices from an almost forgotten female heritage, it features eighteen writers who speak powerfully of the events that shaped their lives: the daily fabric of life in Europe; the struggle from which new lives in North America, Palestine and then Israel were forged; the terror and challenge of survival during the Holocaust and its aftermath.
