To celebrate the 90th anniversary of this historic event the University of Oxford European Humanities Research Centre and the Oxford Institute for Yiddish Studies organized 'Yiddish in the Contemporary World' (19-21 April 1998), which reviewed academic work in European, Israeli and North American universities. The present volume of conference papers, by leading Yiddish scholars, provides a remarkable panoramic view of Yiddish at the end of the twentieth century.
