Starting in 1897 in New York City, the Forward is the most renowned Yiddish-language newspaper in the world. While Yiddish writers such as Isaac Bashevis Singer have been translated into English, many of the contributors remained untranslated and unknown. The 42 stories collected here, including ten tales by women writers, have all been translated for the first time and are organized by themes such as immigration, modern times, war, and Eastern European life. With an introduction by novelist Dara Horn, this groundbreaking anthology is an important contribution to the understanding of the Jewish immigrant experience in America.
