Pages of Vienna: The Yiddish Publishing Story

A conversation (in Yiddish) between Eli Benedict and ‪‪‪Dr. ‪‪‪‪Thomas Soxberger. We discuss Soxberger’s new book, Gründen wir einen jiddischen Verlag! Jiddische Bücher, Zeitschriften und Broschüren aus Wien. Eine kommentierte Bibliographie (“Let’s Found a Yiddish Publishing House! Yiddish Books, Journals, and Pamphlets from Vienna – An Annotated Bibliography”). This work explores Yiddish publishing in Vienna, offering insight into its books, periodicals, and pamphlets. We explore the rich history of Yiddish publishing in Vienna and its broader impact on Jewish life in the city. Thomas Soxberger is a historian and Yiddish scholar who has published extensively on Jewish and Yiddish culture. His previous book, Revolution am Donaukanal: Jiddische Kultur und Politik in Wien 1904 bis 1938 (Revolution on the Danube Canal: Yiddish Culture and Politics in Vienna, 1904–1938), examines Yiddish cultural life in early 20th-century Vienna.
