Yiddish in Sweden with Prof. Jan Schwarz

Sweden is unique among European countries in not only recognizing Yiddish as a minority language in 1999 but providing long-term governmental support. In the last twenty or so years, the Nordic country has experienced a small scale Yiddish "renaissance" that makes it the envy of Yiddish enthusiasts worldwide. Prof. Jan Schwarz of Lund University explains this development and demonstrates how Yiddish Studies and culture have found a place in academia, entertainment, media, publishing, and more in a country with some 20-25,000 Jews. Prof. Jan Schwarz received his Cand. Mag in Scandinavian Studies and Comparative Literature from the University of Copenhagen and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in Yiddish and Comparative Literature. From 2011 to 2023, he was Associate Professor of Yiddish Studies at Lund University, Sweden. His selected publications include Imagining Lives: Autobiographical Fiction of Yiddish Writers (Wisconsin UP, 2005) and Survivors and Exiles: Yiddish Culture after the Holocaust (Wayne State UP 2015; paperback 2021).
