Description

Yiddish speaking immigrants formed the milieu of the hugely successful socialist daily Forverts (Forward). Its editorial columns and bylined articles reflected and shaped the attitudes and values of its readership. Profound admiration of Russian literature and culture did not mitigate the writers’ criticism of the czarist and Soviet regimes.
