YIDDISH VINKL |
The Translations of Leo Dashefsky
J. L. PERETZ You can read English translation of poems written by some of the more popular and well-known Yiddish writers within this exhibition, courtesy of the late Leo Dashefsky z"l who produced each one of the translations that are being made available to you here. The poems listed are but a small number of the total of poems translated by Leo Dashefsky; perhaps more will be made available for your perusal in the future. Currently, you may read a short biography of each of the poets, as well as one or more of their translations. The original Yiddish is not included here, though if anyone possesses a copy of a particular poem in Yiddish, it may be sent to the Museum via e-mail so that it may be added alongside the English translation. If you have the original Yiddish-language version, please contact the Museum at postmaster@museumoffamilyhistory.com. Please read the lovely dedication of Leo's daughter Batya which is being presented to you as a PowerPoint presentation. |
HOPE AND TRUST (Huff un gloyb)
by J. L. Peretz Hope! Spring isn't far away, Butterflies are leaping New nests, new birds, New songs they will be singing.
And the clouds also will dissipate.
And new stars will illuminate.
Stir the scent of spring. Sunshine, fragrance, singing To our dungeon they will also bring.
