Yidishe kinder! Jewish children! What was their world like before World War II? What did they read? How did they play? What did they draw? What were their favorite foods? What did they learn and how did they learn? What did they do when they skipped school? What sports and games did they play? Using their archival and bibliographic collections, YIVO presents Yidishe kinder, a look at the world of Jewish children when Yiddish predominated as a Jewish vernacular. From children’s storybooks to magazines, from school textbooks to limericks, come and see the artifacts of the life kids lived in Yiddish before World War II.
