Gilles Rozier: Paris Yiddish Scene


Listen Later

  • Today's show continues our series of interviews with activists on
the Yiddish scene around the Paris Yiddish Center-Medem Library,
which began Wednesday June 12 2019. We previously presented
interviews with Ri J. (Reyze) Turner and Yitskhok Niborski.
  • Gilles Rozier was born in France in 1963. He began to learn Yiddish
  • in 1987. From 1994 until 2014 he served as Director of the Paris
    Yiddish-Center/Medem Library. He wrote his Doctoral Dissertation
    about the Yiddish writer Moyshe Broderzon. He is also a translator
    from Yiddish, Hebrew, English, and French. In 2016, he and
    Anne-Sophe Dreyfus created "Les Editions de l’Antilope", a
    French-language publisher devoted to Jewish literature, which has
    now published 20 books, either in translation from Yiddish, Hebrew,
    English, and Polish, or originally written in French.
  • The interviews are conducted by Sholem Beinfeld, who is
  • Professor Emeritus of History at Washington University in St. Louis,
    and is perhaps best known as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the
    Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary (Arumnemik
    Yidish-English Verterbukh), as well as a translator of Yiddish
    texts and creator of new subtitles for classic Yiddish movies. The
    Dictionary is based on the Yiddish-French Dictionary edited by
    Yitskhok Niborski and published by the Medem Library/Paris Yiddish
    Center. Sholem's connection with the Medem Library goes back many
    decades, beginning with his Fulbright Fellowship in Paris as a
    graduate student.
