Yidishe oytobyografyes / Der veg tsu zikh

The initial texts in the Erdman Archive are drawn from the teaching materials prepared for the Goldrich/Goldreich Families – Beth Shalom Aleichem Seminar in Yiddish Studies at Tel Aviv University from the summer of 2008. Entitled "Yiddish Autobiography", this was the course packet prepared by Prof. David Roskies of the Jewish Theological Seminary. The text of Rozia Shpayzer is used by permission of the YIVO Archives and transcribed by Eliezer Niborski.
