The Vilna Collections in Translation
An in-depth look at several original documents from YIVO’s revolutionary new archive
February 02, 2022
The following three documents from YIVO’s newly digitized Vilna Collections are presented here together in the original and then again in English translation for those who do not read Yiddish. These translations, designed to resemble the originals, are intended to provide readers with an unmediated encounter with the archival document.
