Tel Aviv author/Associate Professor Hannah Pollin-Galay is my special guest with “Occupied Words"!

The Mike Wagner Show

Tel Aviv author/Associate Professor of Yiddish & Holocaust Studies Hannah Pollin-Galay talks about her latest release “Occupied Words: What the Holocaust Did to the Yiddish” explores how a new strain of Yiddish emerged out of the need among Jews to describe an unprecedented reality, brutality, imprisonment & dehumanization within the ghettos & death camps defying comprehension and normal pre-war forms of conversation as new reinvented words emerged and the devastating power of words! Hannah is an Associate Professor of Yiddish & Holocaust Sturdies in the Dept. of Literature at Tel Aviv (also receiving her PhD in ’14), also multi-lingual and taught at Ben Gurion Univ., Univ. of Haifa, held Rothschild Postdoctorate Fellowship at Columbia Univ. and did research exploring the connection between language, ethics & historical imagination in Holocaust testimony!
