Yiddish Writer Stories Pre-Interview Questionnaire

Thank you for your interest in the Wexler Oral History Project's "Beyond the Books: Yiddish Writers and Their Descendants" interview series.

To arrange to be interviewed for the series, please fill out this pre-interview questionnaire. The information you provide helps our oral historians tailor the interview to your unique life experience and allows us to do research in preparation for the interview. The more detailed you are in your responses, the better prepared we will be to do the best interview possible.  

You can complete the web-based form and submit it online, email us to request a paper copy, or call us at 413-256-4900, ext. 148, to fill it out over the phone. Once we receive the completed form, we'll be in touch about scheduling an interview.

Our online form allows you to save a draft of your answers and return to it later. Click the “save draft” button at the bottom of the page and copy and save the secure link that appears in the green box at the top of the screen.

If your story is not related to a Yiddish writer, fill out our general pre-interview questionnaire instead.
