A Worker’s Yiddish Library on View

Marvin Zuckerman and Ruby Elliot Zuckerman join The Shmooze to talk about their family’s story, which is featured in the Yiddish Book Center’s new core exhibition, Yiddish: A Global Culture. As Marvin shares, “In our one-bedroom apartment in the Bronx we had world literature—Georg Brandes, Maupassant, Marx, Darwin, Jack London, Tolstoy—all in Yiddish.” Marvin and his granddaughter Ruby share the experience of traveling together from the West Coast to be part of the exhibition’s opening and to see their family’s “Worker’s Library” on view.
