The Book Rescuer

FROM SARAH:

When Aaron Lansky learned that Yiddish books, the treasured words of generations of Jewish families, were being tossed away, he set out to save them. His mission grew into the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts, a real place you can still visit and explore online!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Over the last forty years, Aaron Lansky has jumped into dumpsters, rummaged around musty basements, and crawled through cramped attics. He did all of this in pursuit of a particular kind of treasure, and he's found plenty. Lansky's treasure was any book written Yiddish, the language of generations of European Jews.
