Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. _______________________________________________________________________ Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 17:11:28 -0500 From: Ellen Cassedy <[email protected]> Subject: New book features Vilnius Yiddish Institute I'm pleased to announce the publication of my new book, "We Are Here: Memories of the Lithuanian Holocaust" (University of Nebraska Press), which begins with my enrollment at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute, evokes the world of the yidishkayt in the one-time Jerusalem of Lithuania (land of my forebears), and then expands into an examination of how people in Lithuania today are engaging with their 20th-century past. Many scenes involve studying Yiddish with wonderful teachers, my love of Yiddish, and reflections on Yiddish literature. Michael Steinlauf, author of Bondage to the Dead: Poland and the Memory of the Holocaust, says: "Pioneering...will reach out to all those who care about not replaying in this new century the disasters of the century that has just ended."
