Yiddish Civilisation : The Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation

Paul Kriwaczek, an Austrian Jew, was born in 1937 in Vienna.

He grew up in north-west London, where the Yiddish language and culture were still strong among his friends' parents. After a career with the BBC External Services and as a successful programme-maker for BBC television, he retired in the mid 1990s and lives in north London.
