Re: [ha-Safran] Papers of Hartwig Hirschfeld

[Freedman, Vanessa]

Thanks Michelle. That will be  useful as I had another enquiry regarding his 
family history. The original enquirer was actually looking for Hirschfeld’s 
Nachlass. This isn’t a term I was familiar with but looked it up and it means 
‘personal effects —used for works unpublished or unexhibited at one's death’.

Shabbat shalom

I have been contacted by a scholar who is trying to locate the papers of 
Professor Hartwig Hirschfeld, who taught at Jews’ College in London prior to 
his death in 1934. I haven’t been able to locate them in any UK institution and 
was wondering if by any chance they are held somewhere overseas.

Swindles and Seductions:
The Curious Affinity of Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer
A lecture by Dr. Miriam Udel, sponsored by the Dorot Jewish Division

Wednesday, July 5, 2017
6:30 PM
Mid-Manhattan Library
455 Fifth Avenue (at 40th St.)
New York, NY, 10016
Wheelchair accessible

Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer are each household names,
and together, their writing careers spanned virtually the entire
twentieth century. Their deep affinity transcends their shared
celebrity, though. They defined the Yiddish response to modernity by
taking a stance against progress and the other developmental ideals
that had powered the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment). Drawing on the
speaker’s award-winning book Never Better!: The Modern Jewish
Picaresque, this talk will explain the central role of various
deceptions—the swindle in the case of Sholem Aleichem and the
seduction in that of Bashevis Singer—in illustrating a rapidly
changing world newly devoid of even secular pieties.

Miriam Udel is associate professor of German Studies and Jewish
Studies at Emory University, where her teaching focuses on Yiddish
language, literature, and culture. She holds an AB in Near Eastern
Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University, as well as a PhD
in Comparative Literature from the same institution. Her research
interests include Yiddish modernism, genre studies, Jewish children’s
literature, and American-Jewish literature. She is the author of Never
Better!: The Modern Jewish Picaresque (University of Michigan Press,
2016), winner of a National Jewish Book Award in Modern Jewish Thought
and Experience. She is preparing an annotated, translated anthology of
Yiddish children’s literature called Honey on the Page, slated to
appear with New York University Press.

The lecture is free and open to the public on a first-come,
first-served basis. For more information, visit:
