„Our Attitude to the Yiddish Language.“ Hugo Bergmann on the Yiddish Language, a Comparison with Kafka and Langer, and the Yiddish Research in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The year 2023 marked the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of Hugo Bergmann’s birth. It is worth remembering his philological interest in the Czech Lands, which he wrote about before leaving for Palestine. This collective study aims to explore Bergmann’s relationship to the Yiddish language, as well as map the current state of Yiddish studies in the Czech Republic. We find Bergmann’s thoughts on Yiddish in a series of articles he wrote for the German-Jewish press in the early twentieth century, unlike other Bohemian researchers, he paid considerable attention to Yiddish, teaching himself to read and write the language. It was a period when Prague’s young Jewish intellectuals Franz Kafka and Jiří Mordechai Langer were taking an increased interest in Eastern Jewish culture, with this in mind, Bergmann’s attitude to Yiddish will be considered in comparison to those of Kafka and Langer. The last part of the study provides an overview of scholarly, pedagogical, and translation activities in Czech Lands during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
